WSU to celebrate first-generation students, faculty and staff

 

First-Gen Resource Fair coming Monday, Nov. 5

Next week, Wichita State University will pause to celebrate our first-generation students, and our faculty and staff, too.  

Those within the Wichita State community who are the first in their family to graduate college (or who are on track to do so) are important to the fabric of our institution, the city of Wichita, and the State of Kansas. Wichita State University has a rich history of service to first-generation students dating back nearly 55 years when we began our first TRIO program. 

Our work and service delivery has expanded to include foci on pre-college, undergraduate and returning adult students. Several initiatives have joined the Office of Special Programs (TRIO and GEAR UP programs), in an intentional effort to support our community.

Please take time this week to join the celebration.

First-Gen Celebration Nov. 5-8, 2018
