Tomorrow is West Virginia Day and the folks over at a aBetterWV.com are celebrating in a unique way. They've invited people online to join together to network with others to publicize the needs of our state and work together to meet them.
You may already know about the LeaderTalk blog's connection to West Virginia.
LeaderTalk is the official blog of Mountain State University's School of Leadership and Professional Development. MSU's main campus is in Beckley, WV, the heart of Southern West Virginia.
Mountain State University began as a junior college in Beckley more than 75 years ago in response to the region's need for higher education opportunities. Our growth since that time, including massive expansion in the past twenty years under the leadership of Dr. Charles Polk, represents a continued commitment to our founding vision of providing opportunities for people to find personal and professional success through education.
Mountain State University is truly a gem of West Virginia.
