To the Class of 2025,
Congratulations, graduates! On behalf of the WVU Alumni Association, I congratulate each of you for reaching this monumental achievement. I hope you take a moment to soak everything in today, from putting on your cap and gown, sitting alongside your peers one last time, hearing your name called over the loudspeaker, singing “Country Roads” arm in arm with those around you, to cherished pictures with friends and loved ones. These are the moments you've been working toward as a WVU student.
While your time as a student may be ending, your WVU journey is far from over. You'll be reminded of your Mountaineer family whenever you spot someone with a Flying WV hat in the airport, hear “Country Roads” playing, or drive by a car with a WVU decal. No matter where these country roads lead you next, our network of 200,000+ WVU alumni across the globe will be there with you.
To help you stay connected to WVU, we're gifting each graduate a free year of membership to the WVU Alumni Association, granting you immediate access to exclusive member perks and benefits. We also encourage you to join your local alumni chapter to continue fostering new connections with fellow Mountaineers.
We are so proud of you and all you've accomplished — and we can't wait to see where the next phase of your life takes you. As you step into this exciting new chapter, remember that you can always come back home to WVU. Let’s Go!
In Mountaineer Spirit,
Kevin Berry ('94; '95)
Vice President for Alumni Relations
President, WVU Alumni Association
