Mentors are Needed
When the WVU PSC Alumni Association received the results from the Engagement Survey, by far the most requested item was to mentor and help students. The board has been diligently working in partnership with the College to develop the WVU PSC Alumni Mentorship Program.
This program is designed to help students gain expertise while building their professional networks. The students will be teamed up with an alumni mentor, who will share their knowledge and experience in areas such as career goals, networking, educational planning, confidence and morale building, and study and time management.
Scholars' Achievement Wall
The Scholars’ Wall was originally conceived to recognize the academic and scholarly activities of Potomac State College’s students, alumni, and faculty. During the early deliberations, the College planned to name the wall in honor of Dr. Henry Louis gates, Jr., who attended Potomac State and now serves as chair of Harvard’s Department of African American Studies. He is recognized as one of the most powerful academic voices in America and in 1997 was voted one of Time magazine’s “25 Most Influential Americans.” When Dr. Gates entered Potomac State, his intention was to become a physician. That ambition was short-lived, however, when he was introduced to the captivating world of language and literature by Professor Tony “Duke” Whitmore. Dr. Gates credits Dr. Whitmore with forever changing his life and consequently helping to redefine the meaning of America through the research of Dr. Gates and his colleagues.
Upon Dr. Whitmore’s death during the planning stages of the wall, Dr. Gates requested that the name of the wall be changed to include the name of Dr. Tony “Duke” Whitmore, so that the student and his mentor may be honored together.
