Dear PSC Class of 2020,
As you heard from President Gee today, WVU and its divisional campuses will be adjusting their May graduation ceremonies in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. I am as disappointed as you are that we are having to take this difficult precautionary measure, however, my goal is to keep us all safe and healthy. In place of the face-to-face ceremony, we will be conducting a virtual one on May 9 that will help all of us, your family, and friends, celebrate with you and commemorate your great accomplishments and successes!

Dear Fellow Alumni,
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy “throwback photos” that are often posted on the WVU Potomac State College Facebook page along with the comments that ensue from former students. Just from their brief posts you can sense their sincere gratitude, passion, loyalty, and pride for this College. They often state that Potomac State not only provided them with a solid academic foundation on which they built their careers, but also provided them with some of the best years of their lives cultivating talents they didn’t know existed and friendships for a lifetime.
