A Letter to our Alumni
Excellence. Community. Service. Equity.
Dear Friend,
As the Department Chair of WVU’s Department of Physics and Astronomy, I’d like to express our sincere appreciation for your support over the years. Donations from alumni, industry partners, and friends are so critical to enabling the success of undergraduate and graduate students. Through your support, we have witnessed countless success stories of WVU physics and astronomy students who have gone on to conduct groundbreaking research across a diverse range of fields and contribute to the scientific community through publications in high-quality journals, presentations at national and international meetings, and even patents. Your contributions have not only aided these students financially but have also instilled a sense of confidence and belief in their potential.
As we look to the future, we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. With your continued support, we aim to expand our scholarship program, provide more research opportunities, and equip our students with the tools they need to make meaningful contributions to the field and to the state of West Virginia. Please consider joining us to provide more deserving students with scholarships!
