Each summer, students from all over the Mountain State step onto the West Virginia University campus and into a world of possibilities. At the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, over 300 K-12 students explore real-world STEM through hands-on experiences — thanks in large part to philanthropic support.
The alumni of the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University represent the living legacy of our academic units; they are the embodiment of our values, achievements, and impact beyond our campus. Their journeys reflect the strength of the education they received and the community that shaped them. Whether they graduated last year or decades ago, our alumni continue to inspire, connect and help us create a lasting impact on Mountaineers to come!
