“When I was offered my first job at WVSU, I was a teacher and administrator at a high school. I knew if I came here to teach I could positively affect the lives of thousands. As an instructor in the institution’s education department, I would be shaping future teachers who would then go out into classrooms across America and help others reach their fullest potential. Twenty-two years of my tenure at State, I spent teaching in the education department. I have taught over 4,000 students. I hope I made a difference in their lives. That’s what is most satisfying to me about being a member of the University community—knowing that every day I can positively affect someone else’s life.” 
-R. Charles Byers, ’68
