Ambassador for Change Class

The Ambassadors for Change class, led by Kathryn Williamson with the Honors College, will hold a Virtual Campus Conversation about first-generation collegiate issues. The goal of the Ambassadors for Change class is to further the education of first-generation students and gain a better understanding of the challenges those students face in college. The event will be on April 13, 6 - 7:30 p.m., and include student presentations and a question and answer panel. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to participate.

4-H Upcycle Challenge

We invite 4-H members to participate in the West Virginia 4-H Upcycle Challenge. The directions are listed below.
