Bio
Matthew Ricigliano is an alumnus of UNC Chapel Hill (‘22) where he majored in History and Italian Language Studies.

In this role, he promoted equitable access to higher education in low-income, first-generation, and underserved student populations. At West Stokes, Matthew facilitated 1:1 meetings regarding match and fit institutions, financial aid, and career advising for students, as well as meeting with family members and the community in order to grow the college-going culture. Because of this work, Matthew wanted to continue to be a resource for underserved students in higher education, and he is looking forward to working with the Wake Forest community!
