Gee Mail: Know Your Strengths, Find Your Purpose

In this Gee Mail, University President Gordon Gee takes some time for a Strengths coaching session to learn more about his top 5: Intellection, Learner, Achiever, Arranger and Woo. He encourages students, faculty and staff to know their strengths and better understand how their talents align with others to make a difference — not only at West Virginia University but in the world around us.

Working in service: WVU embedded in fabric of West Virginia communities

In West Virginia’s hills and hollows, its larger cities along interstates and smaller communities on country roads, at ground levels and from broader 365-degree views, West Virginia University students, faculty and staff are working each day in service to the Mountain State.
