Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

Our veteran and service member students amaze us every day.

These students came to WVU in a different capacity than a traditional student, but have made the transition successfully thanks to resources offered by WVU.

Mildred Shea, James Oden, and Andrew Stover are 3 military-connected students who have made the successful transition from service to study. After work that has taken them around the globe, WVU has become the place where they belong.

Happy Homecoming! 🎉 It's exciting to have so many alumni back home today, cheering on the Mountaineers. We can't wait to hear all of the "Let's Go!" chants echoing inside Milan Puskar Stadium tonight.

Have you ever wondered how the iconic "Let's Go" chant started? 🤔 Learn more about the history of these iconic words and how it started as a chant and turned into a greeting from one Mountaineer to another. ⬇️

“Let’s Go!” has been a part of Mountaineer lore for a very long time, and despite its simplicity — or because of it — it has an undeniable power.
