Wichita State University is home to nearly 5,000 first-generation students, individuals whose caregivers weren’t able to complete a college degree and who lack the firsthand experience to tackle college life. To help with their transition, Wichita State offers a number of resources to first-gen students to support them during their time in college, including F1RST GEN SHOCKERS.
Hear from Sara Mata, executive director of Hispanic Serving Institution and a current employee at Wichita State who went to college as a first-gen student, about the first-gen experience.
