A resolution expressing support for the designation of November 8, 2025, as "National First-Generation College Celebration Day".
Summary
S.Res. 496 is a non-binding resolution that proposes to officially recognize November 8, 2025, as National First-Generation College Celebration Day. This resolution aims to honor and celebrate first-generation college students—those who are the first in their families to attend college. The designation would serve as a symbolic acknowledgment of the achievements and contributions of this student population.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. If passed, it would primarily serve a commemorative purpose, raising awareness about first-generation college students and their accomplishments. The resolution was introduced in the Senate in November 2025 and remains in the early stages of the legislative process. Most introduced bills do not advance further, so passage is uncertain.
