The First World Graduation celebration for first-generation students and students of color began at New Paltz more than 40 years ago, and has grown to become one of the most storied and vital traditions on our Commencement calendar. We're using this #ThrowbackThursday to share a photo from an early 1990s First World Graduation.
Even though an in-person event could not be held this spring, First World still featured prominently in our virtual Commencement. Use this link to view remarks from President Christian and First World President Kiana Graham '20 from our undergraduate ceremony.
