Thaiddeus “Ted” Dillie, a class of 2020 West Virginia University and Honors College graduate with a bachelor of science in biochemistry, a major which is a collaboration between the Davis and Eberly Colleges.
Ted, a Weirton, West Virginia native, was exposed to strong WVU pride throughout his childhood, so his decision to attend college here was not a difficult choice. However, as a first-generation college student, navigating the waters at such a big university was an adjustment for Ted.
Ted said his experiences with the Honors College and within his major allowed him to have a rich and unique experience at WVU, one he hopes to continue in his future.
