Meet a Shocker: Fall 2021 Graduates

More than 1,100 Shockers are eligible for graduation in fall 2021. While each of their journeys are unique, they all share a common connection to Shocker Nation. Here’s what some of our graduates have to say about their time at Wichita State University and the future they see for themselves.  

I am FIRST generation. Wichita State University. “I navigated college as a student entirely on my own, it was empowering, overwhelming and stressful. Learning that a first-gen community on campus exists was validating to my experience. It made me feel less alone having people to relate to in close proximity.” Jaci Ignudo, digital specialist, Strategic Communications BFA, Graphic Design. F1RST GEN SHOCKERS.

F1RST-Gen Friday: Jaci Ignudo

What is a first-gen student?

A first-generation college student is defined as a student whose parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have not completed a bachelor’s degree. A student who is the first person in their immediate family to attend a four-year college/university to attain a bachelor’s degree.

  • Focus on first-gen: This week we highlight Jaci Ignudo, digital specialist, Strategic Communications.
