We're so grateful for this gift!

Nearly 70 years ago, West Virginia University welcomed Ruey Yuan Lin and helped prepare him for a successful career as a research scientist. Now, his son is honoring that legacy with a generous gift to support education, outreach and life-changing experiences through WVU programs, including Energy Express.

Thanks to the Lin gift, WVU Energy Express will be able to open an additional site this summer and provide more resources across the state.

We’re deeply appreciative of the continued impact of the Lin family’s story and their belief in the transformative power of education.
