A letter to the Mountaineer family.

I am so grateful to our faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends in the Eastern panhandle for their fabulous gold and blue spirit. And I predict the babies I met will grow up to be Mountaineers!

I am truly blown away and honored by this incredible portrait by WVU's own Professor Naijun Zhang, which will live at WVU Medicine. If only I looked that good in person!

I can't think of a better way to celebrate West Virginia Day today than by showcasing the very best of what makes West Virginia so special. These students are true Mountaineers, helping their neighbors in need.

Doug believed in the power of education, community, and service, and he gave generously of his time and spirit to support our students, faculty, and staff. We are heartbroken by his passing and extend our deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones. (3/3).

His deep love for West Virginia University was evident in everything he did—as a graduate, donor, public servant, fan, and former faithful member of the WVU Alumni Association Board. (2/3).

Doug Skaff was a Mountaineer through and through. As student body president at WVU, he helped launch WVUp All Night and the Mountaineer Manics—two beloved programs that continue to shape student life today. (1/3).

I had my last faculty senate meeting with faculty leadership over the past ten years. We had a few boxing matches over the years but were always respectful. Thanks for great leadership.

Great to see my friend and Kanawha County Commission President @bensalango. I love seeing the great work alumni of our University are doing in our state.

Join me as I chat with my last graduating class as president of West Virginia University at our fabulous Gradfest event. It has been an absolute honor and privilege to get to talk to so many wonderful students over all these years.

Congratulations @DoctorAliRezai! Dr. Rezai was recently awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, one of the highest recognitions given to an American. It is given to those that have made a humanitarian impact and have ties to Ellis Island/Immigration.

Please join me in thanking our University police officers as we celebrate National Police Week!

I am so proud of our Competitive Cheer Squad. National Champions!

We recently had the WVU Dance Team to Blaney House to celebrate their many successes in representing our University.

Our Country Roads program is West Virginia's only IPSE program in the state, which prepares Mountaineers with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities for independence. I look forward to meeting our latest class as they cross the commencement stage in May! #IPSEDay

We had a great evening with the new First Family of WVU. Welcome home!

Congratulations to WVU’s 27th Truman Scholar- Sophie Slaughter! I had the honor of getting to surprise Sophie with the great news. Very proud to have another member of this incredible community at WVU.

I am very proud to welcome the newly inaugurated SGA President and Vice President, Colin and Ro, to lead our student body.

I am proud of the incredible research work WVU has done to fulfill its land-grant mission over the last decade.
