Traditions
💛 Traditions
Since our founding in 1867, West Virginia University has grounded itself as an institution that cares deeply about the preservation of tradition. The heart of WVU truly lies in the people themselves, both within our campus and the communities in which we reside. The pride we share in our state drives us to work harder to best serve our institution, our community, and the greater state of WV.
Welcome Week
Welcome Week is a giant celebration welcoming students back to campus. Welcome Week takes place the days leading up to the first day of classes in the fall. Popular events include Mountaineer Movie Fest, mini Adventure WV activities, Monday Night Lights, and Fall Fest. With no classes and tons of things to do, this is a time where incoming students can explore the campus, meet new friends, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
