I AM First-Gen Wordmark

Student Success collaborated with University Relations in 2019 to develop the I AM 1st Gen wordmark. One way we can celebrate our first-gen community on campus is making it visible. Knowing that there are individuals who have or have had a similar experience creates a sense of belonging and provides community members with a support network. To encourage this, we’ve printed buttons, stickers, and t-shirts featuring the wordmark. We hope you’ll consider joining us in sharing the I AM 1st Gen wordmark in the following ways:
-
Add the I AM 1st Gen wordmark to your email signature to be easily identified as first-gen when communicating with others. You can find an email-sized version here.
-
Wear an I AM 1st Gen shirt on campus. If you’d like one, send us a note at studentsuccess@umass.edu and we’ll arrange a time for you to pick it up.
-
Display I AM 1st Gen stickers and pins on laptops, backpacks, clothing, bulletin boards and in your office/personal spaces. As with the shirts, send us a message and we’ll set some aside for you.
If you’re interested in using the I AM 1st Gen wordmark in other creative ways, be in touch with us and we’re happy to share a high-resolution version of the artwork.
