What our students are saying

"In our engineering classes you hear... you want a diverse group for your teams, a diverse set of ideas, so I feel like having a diverse group of people from all different backgrounds, is really good in creating a good project and where you are able to learn from each other.

It's a validating experience to hear from other students and figure out ways to collaborate and help each other."

Riley Coulter

Biomedical Engineering student Honors College undergraduate researcher oSTEM President

"At SpaceX, I am thrilled that with my hard work, I am not only getting humanity closer to the day when there are footsteps on Mars but I am also supporting the creation of the largest-ever satellite constellation to provide internet to millions of people around the world, who otherwise wouldn't be connected.

I don't know what the next twenty years hold, but WVU's education prepares Mountaineers to Go First."
