Working for Impact in Science and Health

The Working for Impact in Science and Health (WISH) Committee at the West Virginia University Health Sciences Center is dedicated to fostering professional growth, collaboration, and community engagement.

WISH provides interprofessional development, personal growth opportunities, and networking for faculty, staff, trainees, and community members across health and science disciplines. Through leadership development, mentoring, recognition awards, and outreach initiatives, WISH empowers members to make a lasting impact in their fields and in the broader community.

2025–26 Year in Review

The WISH Committee brought together faculty, staff, trainees, and community members across WVU Health Sciences for a year of leadership, mentorship, and community impact. From signature leadership events to county fair outreach and inspiring the next generation of health professionals, WISH continued its mission of empowering members to make a lasting difference in their fields and in West Virginia. We look forward to another impactful year ahead.
