“Legacies in the Making” invites incoming first-generation students to come to campus early and acclimate to Ramapo College before the start of semester.  The purpose of this program is to assist first-generation students with their transition to Ramapo College through workshops, activities, and community building that transform Ramapo into their home away from home.
