First Generation Fellows
Being a first-generation student is exciting, and being in this role also comes with some challenges. WPI's First Generation Fellows are faculty members and staff who have been the first in their families to go to college. They are here to help navigate the complexities of being in a college environment and to answer questions or just listen.
If you're a first generation student at WPI, don't hesitate to reach out to any of the First Generation Fellows.
