Every year, the University enrolls a number of students who are the first members of their families to attend college. It so happens that many of our faculty members, including a former president of the University, were the first members of their families to attend college. In an effort to help first-generation college students at UVA connect with members of the faculty who have had the same experience, the following faculty members have self-identified as first-generation college graduates.

Note to faculty members: You may add your name to this list by emailing the Provost's webmaster your name and school/department affiliation.
