Hayden Nichols, a WVU Foundation Scholar, came to WVU in 2016 from Herbert Hoover High School in Elkview, WV. Receiving the Foundation Scholarship influenced his decision to come to WVU, rather than an out-of-state school. Hayden finished his mechanical engineering degree in May 2020, also completing a minor in mathematics.
Dr. Keith Garbutt first came to WVU in 1987 as an assistant professor of biology, teaching a course in population & quantitative genetics.
Jillian Blair comes from a family of West Virginia born Mountaineers, from her sister, who recently graduated from WVU, to her brother who will join her at WVU next year. Jillian is an environmental & energy resources management major and double minor in sustainable design and geology.
As a second-year student, Jillian said that after last year’s less traditional year, she’s tried to use this year to become as involved as she can on campus.
From Bridgeport, Grant DuVall is a senior biology major with a minor in addiction studies. He grew up in Destin, Florida. He loves exploring, hiking and camping, and is always looking to try new things. So this summer, he decided to pursue something completely new to him and joined the rowing team.
