Fun Fact

I love making pottery and stained glass in my free time!

Favorite Thing About WVU and Statler College

My favorite thing about WVU is the number of opportunities they give students to help them live balanced lives. There is a studio on campus where you can learn pottery for free, and there are endless trip programs for students to get outside! 


My favorite thing about Statler is that there is something for everyone, and absolutely everyone here wants to help you achieve your goals. Whatever your interests are, there will be a research lab or club with people who would love to have you there. And if you can't find what you want already established, there are so many people who will help you create something of your own! I don't think there could be a more supportive environment. 

Advice for Prospective Students

Don't be afraid to say yes to everything! If your friend asks you to check out a club or event with them, just go. You can always give something a try, decide it's not for you, and not go again. But so many people end up surprising themselves just by saying yes to an opportunity.
