Interesting news from WVU today. Starting this winter break WVU will add a 3-week,online only winter session. Initially enrollment will be limited. Classes have not yet been announced but will be in Arts& Sciences, Physical Activies and Sports Sciences, CAC and Davis College. Sounds like a good idea for a motivated student with nothing much to do over Christmas and enough $ for the tuition.

No other info on the "major gift" beyond the headline. Any rumors floating around out there?

I was at the 150th birthday party event at the Alumni center on Friday night and there wasn't even a mention of any big gift or an announcement or anything (you would think they would have hinted at a big gift then).


Wonder what it is and how much. When the multi-million dollar gift to the B&E and to the Engineering college happened there wasn't any pre-announcements like this.


Hopefully someone has heard something.


Wish someone would donate money to get the WVU Hotel ball rolling.

Now they've added the event details:

Quote:
CONTACT: Mary Dillon, Statler College
304.293.4086, mary.dillon@mail.wvu.edu


WHAT: WVU, WVU Foundation representatives to make special announcement regarding a major gift to “A State of Minds: The Campaign for West Virginia’s University”

WHO: WVU President E. Gordon Gee, WVU Foundation President & CEO Cindi Roth, Glen H. Hiner Dean of the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources Gene Cilento, donor

WHEN: 11 a.m., Friday (Nov. 3)

WHERE: Lobby of the Advanced Engineering Research Building, Evansdale Campus

NOTE: RSVP to Mary Dillon, 304.293.4086 or mary.dillon@mail.wvu.edu by Thursday, Nov. 2. Complete information will be available for members of the media at the announcement. Parking for media will be available in Area 44.
So it's for the Statler College. I would almost bet on the development of a new building (assuming it's a facilities announcement) next to the AERB to finish the new quad (former Ag Sciences).

I'm hoping that they are taking down that ugly tower and building a nice new modern building in its place. But completing the quad would be nice.

I'll be first in line with a sledgehammer when that happens. But a new building would have to come first to house the existing programs in that tower (ESB - Engineering Sciences Building).
