WVU’s FirstGen Initiatives invites the University community to help celebrate its first-gen faculty, staff and students through Friday (Nov. 8), part of the National First-Generation College Celebration.  

WVU defines first-generation as neither parent earning a four-year degree in the United States.  

FirstGen Initiatives will be tabling in the Mountainlair to kickoff the week-long celebration across campus. We will have giveaways in addition to some special guests throughout the day.
