As a land-grant institution founded through the Morrill Act of 1862, we were the country’s gift to West Virginia. Buoyed by West Virginia’s natural resources, sensibility, and especially, its people, West Virginia University is now the state’s gift to the world. Watch us as we set our minds on the possibilities the future holds.

Although people affiliated with us hail from many states and countries, they are all Mountaineers at heart. While many have been looking at WVU through the lens of our exciting sports programs, we have been steadily moving onto a new platform. A platform of enormous impact. A platform from which we change lives.
