Here’s how we can talk about our key messages in the West Virginia University voice.
What We Do
The message:
WVU offers academic engagement and excellence so students can become character-driven,
entrepreneurial leaders.
In our voice:
Leading the charge.
Today is going to be tough, and we like it that way. Because we know that challenge
builds character, and that’s the only way to forge our future. We are more
than students in a class. We are Mountaineers on a mission.
