We are proud to have faculty and staff members dedicated to the success of first-generation students. Some of these individuals were first-generation themselves but everyone is willing to provide guidance and mentoring to current and future Illinois Wesleyan University students. Please feel free to contact them. Below we list each advocates title, what they are available for (coffee, meeting, etc.), and what they are willing to talk about. Contact them early and often!
