First-Gen Research Showcase with McNair, Graduate School, and SACNAS

About the event

Learn from first-generation undergraduate and graduate researchers and explore staff research on the impact of first-generation programming at WSU. The event will also highlight the new Graduate Pathways program, which pairs first-generation graduate student mentors with undergraduates interested in pursuing research opportunities.

National First-Gen Day celebrates first-generation students around the country. Held on November 8 every year, this day highlights the unique contributions and successes of first-gen students. At WSU, we use this day to support and elevate first-gen voices with panels, keynotes, networking events, lunches, and more.
