Finishing Strong
WVU Potomac State College closed out the Fall 2025 semester with lots of celebrations and fun activities. Last month, we celebrated the retirement of Professor John Stone, who, to my knowledge, will retire with 53.5 years as the longest tenured employee in WVU Potomac State College history.
WVU Potomac State College Athletics has announced a new Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreement with the sports technology company Influxer, which will provide student-athletes with expanded opportunities to build their own personal brands while gaining access to valuable educational and professional resources.
"We're excited for this partnership to further enhance our athletic program," said PSC president Dr. Jerry Wallace. Wallace, who was a two-sport college athlete himself, said this new opportunity will allow each athlete to develop entrepreneurial skills. "And it creates excitement in our whole Catamount community as we celebrate and cheer for our athletes."
WVU Potomac State College has announced the addition of men’s wrestling at the NJCAA Division I level, increasing its intercollegiate athletics offerings to 15 varsity sports. The addition of wrestling marks another significant step in Potomac State’s ongoing commitment to expanding athletic opportunities for student-athletes across the region.
“It is important for our student-athletes to not only advance their education in pursuit of career goals, but to also continue to be challenged by competing and further honing their athletic abilities,” said Dr. Jerry Wallace, PSC president, who was a two-sport university athlete himself. “Student-athletes develop important life skills like discipline, teamwork, goal setting, and perseverance, all of which will serve their futures.”

Next month, I will celebrate one year of serving as the PSC President, and I couldn’t be happier about our progress.
