Celebrating First Gen
2025-05-06 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Advanced Technology Center, 500 Galliher Drive, Fairmont, WV, 26554, United States
The First Generation Student Organization invites you to a special event to celebrate our graduating First Generation Champions and welcome new members! Whether you’re a first-generation student or simply interested in learning more, we encourage you to join us.
Being a first-generation student means your parents or guardians did not complete a college or university degree (even if your siblings have, you’re still first-gen!). You bring a unique perspective and resilience to the college experience, and we want to celebrate that!
RSVP for the event. We look forward to seeing you there!

Access Bars with Jennifer Kelly at ZenJen gently touch 32 head points to promote relaxation. Sign up for a session!

What is Access Bars?

Access Bars is a gentle, energy-based therapy that involves lightly touching 32 points on your head. The “bars” are connected to different areas of your life and can hold onto limiting thoughts and emotions. Through gentle touch, Access Bars works to clear these blocks, allowing you to experience greater mental clarity and emotional freedom.
