Health Sciences Commencement

I feel very prepared to step foot into clinical practice thanks to the exposure I have had to rural communities, different practice settings and various patient populations.

WVU provided me with a variety of opportunities to further myself as a person both academically and socially. The resources at the university are abundant and all the staff want to assist students to be the most successful that they can be. WVU provided me with the foundation to start my career, and the necessary tools to further my education.

One of the key parts of neurology is getting to talk to patients, to hear their story and understand what’s going on. I love talking to people, and I realized that this field was exactly what I wanted.

My experience in the WVU School of Dentistry has given me so much more than just the education needed to be a dentist. I have life experiences that have helped me grow into not only a more suitable professional for the field of dentistry, but to also be a better person.

I never questioned what college I wanted to go to, especially being from the area. WVU School of Nursing has such a good reputation and a supportive environment that truly wants you to succeed. As I talked to nursing students before entering college, I could tell this was the right place for me to grow as a student and a future nurse.
