University representatives are working together to provide information and support to students and employees on all University campuses, including Montgomery and Beckley, through an information session and resources. These efforts are ongoing and we will continue to keep students and employees apprised of the Executive Order and what that means for the members of our community.

“The University takes the Executive Order very seriously and has moved quickly to assist our students and faculty who are directly impacted,” President Gee shared in a message to campus on Sunday evening.

WVU Tech’s Baja SAE project is one of the largest student-led efforts on campus. Each year, a team of engineering students spends their free time designing, building and racing a full-scale, buggy-style vehicle. That’s on top of the time the group spends raising tens of thousands of dollars and negotiating access to heavy equipment so they can built the thing.

On Monday, January 16, more than 40 WVU Tech students, staff and faculty gathered on the Beckley campus. After a brief meeting, the group received their assignments and broke off into teams, heading out into the Beckley area to spend their day off giving back to the community.

The group tackled five community projects in the region in honor of the national Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service.
