Congratulations from President Gee
The end of every journey marks the start of a new adventure.
Hope led you through your journey at West Virginia University. And, by reaching this moment of triumph, you have honed the courage to reach new goals.
My own journey as West Virginia University president is nearing its close, and I am grateful to have shared it with bright, talented students like you.
Your experience here has been about finding your purpose and developing your unique strengths to serve that purpose. Is your goal healing the sick? Inspiring others with your artistic vision? Shattering the status quo with the next high-tech innovation? Helping children grow and learn?
Whatever path you choose, your knowledge and perseverance will lead you to the highest peaks.
The goodwill of more than 210,000 other West Virginia University graduates will accompany you.
The world is waiting.
Let’s go!
E. Gordon Gee
President, West Virginia University
