Welcome
Government & Legislative Affairs promotes effective communication between representatives of West Virginia State University and representatives of the local, state and federal government, as well as, external policy agencies.
Government & Legislative Affairs facilitates positive interactions and communications between the University and government agencies in a manner consistent with the Institution’s mission statement that “advances knowledge through access and opportunity, innovative teaching and learning, interdisciplinary research, and impactful service,” with the stated vision, “focused on building nationally recognized programs that inspire student success and facilitate innovative research that drives West Virginia forward.”
West Virginia State University’s protocol require official governmental contacts to be made through the Office of the President, thereby assuring one official voice for the University.
Our goal is to keep the University’s leaders informed of governmental objectives, concerns, activities and interests affecting WVSU, and the broader higher education community. We strive to provide policymakers with relevant and current information about issues that affect the University, thereby, articulating the University’s position on proposed legislation.
Legislative Affairs develops and implements strategies to advance the University’s legislative initiatives and other interests.
The President’s Government & Legislative Affairs team welcomes input and feedback from WVSU faculty, students, parents and alumni and community constituencies who are interested or concerned about the sustainability, relevancy and competitiveness of West Virginia State University and higher education policy.
