There is tremendous energy surrounding the fall 2011 semester at West Virginia University. The summer was filled with exciting learning opportunities hosted by WVU, such as the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience and the West Virginia Governor’s Honors Academy for high-achieving high school students. Pursuing advanced research as an undergraduate and engaging in an academically rich, college-level experience as a rising high school senior are significant educational experiences that will transform these students into tomorrow’s leaders.
The fall promises continued leadership and growth at West Virginia University. I am thrilled to welcome Paul Kreider, the new Dean for the College of the Creative Arts, to the Mountaineer community. In addition, Chancellor for Health Sciences Christopher Colenda is leading the establishment of the new School of Public Health, thanks in part to a gift from alumnus Stuart Robbins and his wife Joyce, which will establish an endowed professorship in epidemiology.
