Recruitment Events
If there’s one thing that we enjoy executing as a unit, it’s holding events that leave lasting impressions on prospective students and their families, ultimately resulting in enrolling at WVU and becoming a Mountaineer.
Recruitment events are not only critical in executing our recruitment goals, but
they are perfect opportunities to get to know other UREM employees through volunteering.
Below you will find a list of some of our most popular student recruitment events
held throughout the year.
- Decide WVU Day – This is a special visit day held in the spring for admitted students only to help them “decide” WVU as the college choice for the following fall.
