I had the amazing opportunity to work at WVU Medicine J.W. Ruby Memorial as a student respiratory therapist. This opportunity not only gave me more experience but also helped me find my voice and confidence when interacting in the hospital.
Congratulations graduates! We hope you enjoyed the commencement ceremonies, whether you were watching the livestream from home, or you were joining us in-person on campus.

I had the amazing opportunity to work at WVU Medicine J.W. Ruby Memorial as a student respiratory therapist. This opportunity not only gave me more experience but also helped me find my voice and confidence when interacting in the hospital.
If you’re considering WVU, I encourage you to visit campus at least once. The sense of community and hometown feel is something you must experience for yourself. It’s a place that truly makes you feel at home.
My experiences in the WVU School of Public Health have helped me develop a broader understanding of healthcare beyond direct patient care.
One lesson I learned while at WVU is to always continue learning and evaluating yourself as a professional. Continuing to do these things allows you to become a better clinician and be the best version of yourself for your patients.
