Permanently designates November 8 of each year as "First-Generation College Student Day" in NJ.

AJR 86 is a commemorative resolution that permanently designates November 8 each year as "First-Generation College Student Day" in New Jersey. It directly recognizes first-generation college students - those who are the first in their families to attend and graduate from higher education - and aims to raise awareness of their achievements and challenges. The bill requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging colleges, officials, and citizens to observe the day with events supporting these students. This resolution has no funding or policy changes; it is purely symbolic, aligning New Jersey with a nationally recognized observance tied to the anniversary of the 1965 Higher Education Act.
