The Legislature recognized West Virginia’s colleges, universities, and postsecondary opportunities today for the annual Higher Education Day.
Schools such as West Virginia University, Marshall University, West Virginia Wesleyan College, and many other public and independent colleges and universities gathered together to distribute information on their school’s widespread opportunities. Representatives from the schools were available to answer questions for potential students.
In addition to organizing displays, the higher education community was recognized and presented resolutions by the Senate and the House during the morning floor sessions.
The event was hosted by Dr. Paul Hill, Chancellor of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission; James Skidmore, Chancellor of the Community and Technical College System of West Virginia; and Ben Exley, Executive Director of West Virginia Independent Colleges and Universities.
