There’s still a picture that floats around the house of Meris Saric as a toddler wearing an adult-size Washington University sweatshirt that he got from his dad.
But the photo and the sweatshirt have a new meaning to Saric, 18, now that he is moved in for his freshman year on the campus he grew up admiring.
His acceptance at the prestigious, private school means a little extra as a first-generation college student whose family’s time in St. Louis has been rooted deeply in the university.
