I was born and raised in Weirton, West Virginia and have visited WVU countless times during my youth. Whether it was attending the HOBY Youth Leadership Conference on campus, coming down for various athletic events, or just visiting older friends on campus, WVU has always felt like home. Additionally, I chose West Virginia University because I knew I would be challenged academically and be given the opportunity to get involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities across campus, all while being able to represent my home state.Enter a brief description of the person.

What is your favorite Mountaineer memory?

My love for West Virginia University extends beyond the realms of academics and extracurricular opportunities. In fact, some of my favorite Mountaineer memories have been attending athletic events. I love West Virginia and being a Mountaineer, so the many opportunities I have had over the years to show my school pride have been the highlight of my undergraduate career. There’s a great sense of pride that comes along with earning a hard-fought win and being able to sing Country Roads side by side with 30,000 of my fellow Mountaineers. |
