Letter to WVU community from WVU President Jim Clements

11/12/2013

 
West Virginia University President Jim Clements sent the following letter to the University community following Monday’s announcement of his appointment to lead Clemson University:

Almost five years ago my family and I moved to Morgantown, West Virginia. At that time we didn’t really know anyone in the state. We quickly learned that West Virginia is filled with wonderful, hard-working, loyal, and dedicated people – and that West Virginia University is made up of great faculty, staff, administrators, and students. I am so thankful and honored that I had the chance to serve with so many outstanding people in the pursuit of the important land-grant mission at WVU.
