First-Generation Faculty & Staff Directory

WELCOME! Washington University in St. Louis is proud to present the First-Generation Faculty and Staff Directory. As part of WashU's commitment to support First-Generation College Students, the Office of Student Affairs and TRIO Student Support Services is leading the effort to compile a list of First-Generation Faculty and Staff. We believe that highlighting First-Generation identities and experiences at the faculty and staff level will encourage First-Generation WashU students to reach out, seek advice, and flourish within the WashU community.

The directory is divided into two sections: Faculty and Staff. Each section is organized alphabetically by division, then by department, and then by the first name of the individual. Our goal is to update this list monthly.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Luisa Castañeda-Cano at lfcastaneda@wustl.edu.
