Chambers' Campus Cameo
Our business students were energized by College namesake and proud West Virginia native John Chambers, who visited campus with his wife, Elaine earlier this semester. He inspired our Entrepreneurship classes and student fellows by sharing his lessons learned from 20 years of leading Cisco Systems as CEO.
It Merits a Mention
Some students find their purpose in college. Others find it long before they set foot on campus.

From West Virginia to Japan
