As we take a moment to reflect on the year, let us not get caught up in the negatives; but appreciate all the virtual memories we were able to make. So often, we take for granted the time we have with one another, so let us share with you our appreciation for the devotion you all have shown to the Place We Love So Dear.
As your Alumni Director, I am so thankful for each one of our alumni. You all have shown that a pandemic can't keep your Yellow Jacket spirit down! We all adapted to a virtual way of communication because our bond cannot be broken.
So please, this holiday season, stay safe and cherish your loved ones! We look forward to seeing you in person next year as WVSU celebrates our 130th Founders Day!
Happy Holidays, Yellow Jackets,
 Belinda Fuller
Director of Alumni Relations
