WVU families, friends, faculty and staff can add a little pomp and circumstance to the feelings of joy, peace and noel this holiday season by reliving 2011 December Convocation. WVU honored approximately 1,500 August and December 2011 graduates at its annual convocation on Sunday, December 11 in the WVU Coliseum. To watch a video of the event, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-An4GCT6JQ.

What is means to be a Mountaineer

Mountaineer mascot Brock Burwell was born to be a Mountaineer, and he demonstrated Sunday (Aug. 22) how the Class of 2014—WVU’s newest students—are also meant to be Mountaineers. Burwell, who began wearing the buckskins as a 2-year-old when he accompanied his uncle Rock Wilson—then the Mountaineer—to various WVU events, spoke to some 5,000 freshmen attending the New Student Welcome at the Coliseum. The event featured a tongue-in-cheek video documentary, with a social media component, created to build a sense of community and pride around the pride that the Mountaineer—and his/her stance—embodies. Enjoy this unconventional and memorable piece—http://wvutoday.wvu.edu/n/2010/08/23/new-wvu-students-learn-what-it-means-to-be-a-mountaineer—and e-mail your best photo in the Mountaineer stance to: wvu@wiffiti.com
