Greetings, fellow Golden Bears!
As I look back on the past six months of my tenure as your alumni relations coordinator, I have been surprised by the outpouring of support from my fellow alumni. Whether you have taken the time to stop by my office and chat with me, talked to me over the phone, sent e-mails, attended our alumni events, joined the Tech Golden Bear Alumni Association, or updated your contact information, your Golden Bear pride is inspiring.
When I think about the future of WVU Tech and what lies ahead for us, I am truly excited to be a part it. So many of you have asked me what you can do to get involved and help Tech succeed. I have put together a list of things to help get us started.
