December 2024 Commence­ment

Congratulations to our December graduates!

As we wrap up 2024, we are excited to celebrate our newest Health Sciences graduates who are about to begin another step in their journey. Together, these students have accomplished so much personally and professionally while learning and working to improve health and well-being.

Our graduates’ inspiring stories and lifetime commitment to serving others is an opportunity to reflect on our individual purpose and our collective mission at Health Sciences and West Virginia University.

We can’t wait to see all that these graduates will accomplish, and we are so excited to cheer them on. We hope the lessons they’ve learned along the way provide guidance and reassurance in their new adventures.

Remember, country roads will always lead you back home.
