1st ONE Campaign

1st ONE sticker.The 1st ONE campaign was initiated by the First-Generation Students and Families Committee as a way for students, faculty, and staff to show their support of first-generation college students by displaying 1st ONE decals/stickers. It is our hope that you will proudly display a 1st ONE decal on windows, doors, cars, et cetera in support of the success of first-generation University of Rochester students. The displayed 1st ONE decal on your door might indicate that you were a first-generation college student and identify with the experiences of current students or simply that you support first-generation students. We envision 1st ONE decals all around the campus community. The hope/goal is that the 1st ONE image inspires connection, a willingness to engage, and a desire to support.

If you are interested in supporting 1st ONE or would like more information, please contact Dawn Bruner at dawn.bruner@rochester.edu or (585) 275-5415.


The First-Generation Students and Families Committee is an initiative of the College, coordinated by Parent and Family Relations.

At the University of Rochester, a student is identified as a first-generation college student if neither parent/guardian obtained a Bachelor’s degree.
