About First2 Network
The First2 Network is a project funded by the National Science Foundation INCLUDES, aimed at helping rural, first-generation students who major in a science, technology, math or engineering (STEM) related field, to survive and thrive during the all-critical first two years of their post secondary education.
The steering committee includes current first-generation college students, professors, researchers and educators, and has representation from small and large West Virginia colleges and universities, informal science education, and several West Virginia agencies including Fairmont State University, Green Bank Observatory, High Rocks Educational Corporation, West Virginia University, and the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.
