WVU & WVU Extension
Day at the Legislature

2012 Event Highlights

More than 1,000 WVU Extension supporters joined more than 50 exhibitors at the State Capitol on Tuesday, Feb. 21 to listen and learn and meet with senators and delegates at WVU & WVU Extension Day at the W.Va. Legislature.

“Such a strong showing sends a powerful message to our legislators about how valuable WVU Extension people and programs are to West Virginians and the communities we serve,” said Steve Bonanno, Extension interim director.

WVU Extension friends started the day at the Culture Center, where they heard from WVU leaders Steve Bonanno, interim director for Extension and Public Service; Linda Phillips, W.Va House of Delegates member representing Wyoming County; Clara Grandt, professional runner, WVU graduate and Doddridge County native; and James Clements, WVU president.

Educational displays featured something for everyone, including WVU Museum of Natural History, WVU Jackson’s Mill, WVU Libraries, and WVU Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy.

For those interested in planning for college, WVU recruiters and the Higher Education Policy Commission’s College Foundation of West Virginia had application and funding information.

Other exhibitors include WVU’s Extended Learning’s on-line, off-campus programs, NASA West Virginia Space Consortium, and colleges of Law, Business and Economics, as well as the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources & Design.
