Students who have exceeded classroom boundaries and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to solving complex global challenges and serving others—among them a distance learner with autism, a gymnast and an alternate Mountaineer Mascot—will receive WVU's highest student honor, the Order of Augusta.

The  West Virginia University  Mountaineer is not just a mascot—it is a symbol of West Virginia history and identity embraced throughout the Mountain State.  Rosemary Hathaway, folklorist and associate professor of English in the  Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, explores the spirit of the Mountaineer in her new book,  Mountaineers Are Always Free .

Through West Virginia University’s Office of Undergraduate Research, students can participate in research as early as their first semester on campus. Every semester, many Eberly College students take advantage of the resources provided by this office to match with faculty conducting research in their disciplines. The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience is an eight-week summer undergraduate research experience for students interested in careers in research or graduate school
within their disciplines. The selected students receive a stipend and conduct research full-time during those eight weeks. Congratulations to the 30 Eberly College students participating in SURE for 2019!

Five  West Virginia University women have been awarded the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship to teach English abroad next year.
