National First Generation College Celebration Day

About the November 2024 Sticker

The design inspiration behind the November Sticker of the Month, celebrating National First Generation College Celebration Day (November 8), is a heartfelt tribute to the resilience and accomplishments of first-generation students. Following a floral motif seen in previous stickers, this design uses a celebratory flower necklace to symbolize honor and recognition for graduates who have paved their educational paths. The sticker depicts a student proudly raising their diploma in a victory stance, symbolizing both pride in achievement and the trailblazing spirit first-generation students embody as they navigate higher education, celebrating their strength and determination.
