Meet a First-Generation Admissions Counselor
As you embark on this exciting, yet overwhelming journey as the first in your family to go to college, please know that you are not alone—especially on the WPI campus and in the Office of Admissions. I am one of five admissions counselors at WPI who are first-generation college students. Like many of you, I am also a first-generation American. The college process was not easy to navigate, but thanks to my college and admissions counselors, it was possible. I am now able to use my personal background and passion to help first-generation college students like you! I am so excited to introduce you to WPI and hopefully welcome you to the community. Please do not hesitate to contact firstgenwpi@wpi.edu if you have any questions or concerns!
