WVU’s Eberly College announces 2017-18 Outstanding Researcher Award recipients

The  Eberly College of Arts and Sciences at West Virginia University has named two recipients of the 2017-18 Outstanding Researcher Award: Sean McWilliams and Aaron Metzger. 

A number of students beginning their academic career at WVU are embarking on a journey that no one in their families have before, becoming the first generation of their families to earn four-year degrees. 

That experience comes with unique challenges for students as they make their way through an unfamiliar culture with its own language and expectations. How do I talk to my professor? Can someone help me understand the syllabus? If I need tutoring, is it free?

Take heart, though. We’re here to help. What’s more, a number of faculty in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences had the same experience. They too were once first-generation college students excited about the future, but anxious about asking for help and speaking up in class.
