WVU Foundation Scholar Julia Leyden is graduating this month with honors as an Outstanding Senior, triple majoring in history, philosophy and political science.

An experienced administrator, researcher and educator will join the West Virginia University leadership team as the inaugural Linda and Don Brodie Dean of the WVU Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, the University’s largest academic unit.
