First Generation Scholars

Did you know? 47% of WSU first time/first year students are 1st GEN students. The Office of Multicultural Affairs is committed to providing access and retention services for our first generation students. Being a first generation student means that you are the first in your family to attend college/university and/or your parent(s) did not complete a 4-year college/university degree.

Students To become more involved, connect, or for support, contact us at tnguyen89@worcester.edu

Faculty/Staff If you would like to be a part of the Mentor Network to support our 1stGEN students at Worcester State University, please email us at tnguyen89@worcester.edu
