School of Public Health

Dear Graduates,

Congratulations on reaching this remarkable milestone! Your hard work, late nights, and unwavering dedication have brought you to this moment. Take pride not only in what you’ve accomplished but in how you’ve grown — the resilience you’ve demonstrated, the doubts you’ve overcome, the knowledge you’ve gained, and the community you’ve built.

Graduation is more than a destination; it’s a launching point. Some of you may be stepping directly into a clear career path; others may still be discovering what comes next. Both paths are filled with boundless opportunities. As you move forward, stay curious, stay open-minded, and stay connected to your peers, your mentors, and the place you call home, the West Virginia University School of Public Health.

You’ve learned to navigate complexity, to think critically, to serve others, and to contribute meaningfully to society. Now, as graduates of the WVU School of Public Health, you enter a community of professionals dedicated to the belief that health is not a privilege for the few but a right for all. Your passion for public health is calling you to advocate, to innovate, and to build healthier communities.

Wherever your path may lead, your Mountaineer roots have prepared you for the impactful work ahead, and no matter how far you go, remember that country roads will always lead you home.

On behalf of the WVU School of Public Health community, we are immensely proud of each and every one of you. May your future be filled with promise, prosperity, and purpose. Warmest congratulations and best wishes for the adventure ahead.

Let’s go,

Sarah C. Woodrum signature
