• Remarks from the September 5th, 2025 Meeting of the Board of Trustees

  Friday, September 5, 2025

  It's been an exciting beginning to the academic year! Following the groundbreaking for the Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility, the big wins have continued for Mountaineer Athletics. Cross country, field hockey, soccer and volleyball are all starting out their seasons with great success! And of course, we’re excited to go into our first home Mountaineer football game 1-0. More than 10,000 student tickets have already been claimed for this game — so we know it will be a fun experience for students and their families here for Family Weekend!
