For 150 years, West Virginia University students have been learning, having fun and
changing the world.
With a new semester, we continue that tradition. At West Virginia University, you
can seize opportunities as varied as creating engineering innovations in Mexico,
researching cancer biology with an expert scientist or joining the Hip Hop Club.
So, as the semester continues, get out there and get going.
Embrace service to others. Seek new solutions. Respect and care for each other. And
show the world that Mountaineers Go First.
Whether you are in Morgantown, Keyser, at WVU Tech’s brand-new Beckley home, studying
abroad or learning online, you are part of ONE West Virginia University and ONE
Mountaineer family. Everyone here is eager to help you succeed.
Our best experts on that process—last year’s Mountaineer seniors—have even left behind
some wisdom to help you make the most of this year. So, watch this Gee Mail and
put their advice into practice.
Your future starts now. So work hard, open your hearts to new friends and open your
minds to new ideas.
Let’s go!
E. Gordon Gee
President, West Virginia University
