A new designation by the United States National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security has established the cybersecurity bachelor’s degree program at West Virginia University as one of the top-tier programs in the nation.

More than 40 people – including many former students – are building upon the legacy of late WVU professor Yi Luo by establishing a memorial scholarship to benefit graduate students in the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources.

A WVU student known for his previous video game development work has been selected to create a game for the renowned anthology series "Dread X Collection 5." (Video interview included.)

In this post-commencement season, three WVU alums are making plans to help West Virginia with research work focused on a range of issues. Three WVU graduates are part of the National Science Foundation’s 2022 Graduate Research Fellowship Program, the oldest graduate fellowship of its kind made up of an elite group of researchers from across the United States and will continue their work in Morgantown.

Dear friends and colleagues,

Summer is here, and our college feels a little empty without students. We can’t wait to see our students again! During the summer break, I encourage you to get outside, enjoy the fresh warm air and take a break from your computer. 

The articles presented above showcase our cybersecurity bachelor’s degree program ranked as one of the top-tier programs in the nation by the United States National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security. We also feature more than 40 people who came together to establish the memorial scholarship for the late Professor Yi Luo. I invite you to take the time to read these stories and others in this newsletter.

We’re also excited to host the 2022 Statler College Engineering Challenge Camps. Students in grades K-12 across the tri-state area may discover their passions in STEM at WVU. The camps will allow our young people to continue their education and explore STEM concepts. They’ll have fun learning how to overcome obstacles through problem-solving, build critical thinking skills through hands-on activities and make life-long friends through team building exercises.

Let's Go!
