We often hear, "It's not the destination, It's the journey." The Division of Student Life at West Virginia University couldn't agree more.

As we work to support students in their journey through WVU, we are also focused on our own pathways. Student Life is made up of over 20 unique departments and affiliates, each working to support and enhance the student experience. Our Strategic Compass provides the navigational tools to undertake the journey of continual innovation, growth and improvement. Explore each of the Compass Points below and their corresponding Waypoints.
