Health Sciences Commencement

Choosing WVU to pursue dental hygiene was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This program challenged me in the best ways—academically, professionally and personally.

WVU provided me with a variety of opportunities to further myself as a person both academically and socially. The resources at the university are abundant and all the staff want to assist students to be the most successful that they can be. WVU provided me with the foundation to start my career, and the necessary tools to further my education.

I feel very prepared to step foot into clinical practice thanks to the exposure I have had to rural communities, different practice settings and various patient populations.

I never questioned what college I wanted to go to, especially being from the area. WVU School of Nursing has such a good reputation and a supportive environment that truly wants you to succeed. As I talked to nursing students before entering college, I could tell this was the right place for me to grow as a student and a future nurse.

Within the clinical settings, our professors are so eager for us to learn. You are present, they are present, and you truly do see how much someone can care for you and your success as a student. It feels like family here and I know I can always talk to my teachers.
