Quote: “As the Mountaineer, I want to give back to the university that has given me so many great opportunities and memories. I will have the opportunity to portray my passion for our state and university onto others to exemplify the Mountaineer pride that unites the state. Growing up in southern West Virginia has allowed me to see how special this state is because of its people, and our flagship university is a perfect representation of this.”
