Creating an extraordinary and transformative experience for every WVU student.
Empowering every Mountaineer to thrive by providing the support, resources, and community they need to grow, succeed, and make a lasting impact.
Offer a mix of great events and programs to help students make the most of their time here and build memories that complement their studies.
Create a space where we welcome different perspectives and help students build meaningful connections, even when they don't see eye-to-eye.
Foster health-promoting habits, safe and supportive environments, and accessible resources that enable students to flourish.
Encourage students to take the lead in shaping their campus experiences and the broader community.
Celebrate the grit it takes to overcome challenges and the hard work students put into their roles and passions, equipping them for a successful life and career.
"As a Mountaineer, I will practice academic and personal integrity, value wisdom and culture, foster lifetime learning, practice civic responsibility and good stewardship, & respect human dignity and cultural diversity. In order to become a meaningful member of West Virginia University and the society in which I live, I dedicate my energy, my talents, and my intellect to these standards of excellence."
“We are excited to walk alongside your student as they begin their journey at WVU. Our Student Life team is here to create a welcoming, enriching, and truly transformative experience for them-- every single day they’re part of the Mountaineer family. ”
— Gary G. Furbee, II and Carrie Showalter
