Thank
you for the opportunity to join the community and lead this historic institution
into the next chapter. During my transition back to West Virginia, I connected with
PSC employees and students and enjoyed getting out in the community. Some of our
initial favorite local restaurants include Queen’s Point Coffee and Castiglia’s
Italian Eatery!
I
have met with staff, faculty and community members who beam with Catamount Pride
and understand with hard work we can serve as a beacon of hope for many more students
in the region. I have multiple engaging employee activities in store for PSC faculty
and staff which also includes a Potomac State College retiree breakfast each semester.
