WVU is the FBI's lead academic partner in biometrics research under an agreement signed today (Feb. 6) by Thomas E. Bush III, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division (left), and WVU President Mike Garrison. WVU researchers, administrators and students were on hand for the signing at Blaney House. "We are very excited to be involved in a project that will not only impact national security efforts but will also have worldwide significance," Garrison said. "The center will provide WVU students with an academic opportunity that they will not find at any other institution in the United States."
