BUCKHANNON, West Virginia – Twenty-six Fall Semester West Virginia Wesleyan College graduates were recently recognized at a program commemorating their academic achievement. All Fall graduates are invited to walk in the May 10 Commencement. 

President of West Virginia Wesleyan College Dr. James Moore asked graduates to think about the faculty, staff, fellow students, friends and family who helped them achieve success in their academic journeys and reminded them that this support does not end upon graduation.

He also encouraged the graduates to “keep dreaming big.”

“Dream big, don’t lose that sense of hope you have and know that whatever life throws at you, you have graduated from one of the finest institutions anywhere,” Moore said. “We have been doing this for 134 years. You’ve got this and we know it because you are absolutely the best measure of our success as an institution.”
