Get Engaged

By Dylan Webster
West Virginia University at Parkersburg President Dr. Marie Foster Gnage recently expressed her desire for more student involvement, particularly in clubs and activities. “Attending WVUP is more than just jumping through a series of hoops to receive a piece of paper,” stated Gnage. While most students are aware that clubs and organizations exist, they likely do not realize the number and diversity of the student activities available.

“This is what employers look for. They want employees who get involved in their workplace and community. It is also a good opportunity to interact with others, and learn leadership skills,” said Gnage. “The leaders of tomorrow are the student government or Phi Theta Kappa members of today,” she concluded.

It should also be noted that the Journalism Department is tentatively planning to put together a “bulletin board” type paper to be available next fall. This will attempt to outline the many and varied activities that will be at students’ disposal.
