Erosion in Several Large Gullies, Core Arboretum West Virginia University
Erosion in Several Large Gullies, Core Arboretum West Virginia University Jessica Gormont Submission for an Option II-Professional Studies Project in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Geology Department of Geology and Geography Morgantown, WV 2007 Committee Members: Steven Kite (Chair) Robert Behling Jonathan Weems Introduction The position and dimensions of natural gullies are created by the concentration of overland flow into topologic low spots (Zucca, 2006). When areas above a hillside are developed, it can decrease the ability of water to seep into the ground due to the addition of impervious materials such as pavement. These conditions are ideal for Horton overland flow (Luce, 2002). The impervious material can also cause a rerouting of the overland flow sending far more water over the surface of the hillside and into gullies than is natural (Nyssen, 2002). This is doubly true when culverts are added to the heads of the gullies, diverting the overland flow directly into the gullies. Utilization of natural gullies to remove unwanted water during the urbanization process may seem like effective planning. However, an increase in water volume in gullies can increase tractive force within the channel (Saldi-Caromile, 2004), which in turn causes rates of erosion to increase. Possible consequences of this erosional increase could include deepening of gullies and instability of adjacent hillsides, which could trigger landslides. This study examined four gullies within the Core Arboretum of West Virginia University (WVU) (fig. 1). In order from north to south, the gullies that were studied were Tennis Gully, located just beneath the middle section of the WVU tennis courts; Roof Gully, which diverts water from the roof of the Coliseum; Bathtub Gully, named for the size and shape of the gully beneath the Strausbaugh Trail bridge in the 1970s and 1980s (Weems, pers. -

Falling Run Greenspace, Morgantown, West Virginia
Ǥ BUILDING A NEW CENTRAL PARK THROUGH CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND SERVICE LEARNING: FALLING RUN GREENSPACE, MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA Haas, Vaike West Virginia University, [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT Service learning, university-community partnerships and volunteers’ civic engagement activities created a new urban forest park, Falling Run Greenspace, from sixty acres of steeply forested university property in downtown Morgantown, West Virginia. Developing the master plan involved a complex process of administrative approvals and committees for engagement of a diverse group of stakeholders. The project catalyzed greenspace partnerships between the University and the community, and promoted civic engagement among students. This paper reports on the collaborative process through which this new park was created.Landscape architecture majors at West Virginia University participated in site analysis and master planning through service learning in class assignments typically over two semesters; community members and students, staff and faculty volunteered to construct trails. The University provided a construction budget for bridges and a universally accessible trail. In 2016, Falling Run was the first Welcome Week trail-building project and attracted 495 incoming freshmen who volunteered to clear brush and build trails. Falling Run’s volunteer structure hinged on a handful of experienced trail crew leaders providing training sessions, and a dedicated volunteer coordinator. Within eighteen months, volunteers built 2.4 miles of trail, utilizing -

Alpha Rho Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity – A History The Peon of 1929 On December 6, 1929, Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity received a pe::on to the Supreme Council (then located at 636 Church Street in Evanston, Illinois) For a Pi Kappa Phi charter From a local Group oF men at West VirGinia University callinG themselves the Delta Epsilon Fraternity. The Delta Ep- silon men were orGanized in 1924 by “ten younG men oF Good standinG and reputa:on.” Their aims were hiGh, and their standard oF behavior, scholarship and accomplishment was exem- plary. OF the ten men, six were elected to Tau Beta Pi (the honorary enGineerinG Fraternity), three to Phi Lambda Upsilon (the honorary chemistry Fraternity), and two to Phi Beta Kappa (the honorary academic Fraternity). DurinG the three year period prior to pe::oninG Pi Kappa Phi, the men had an average annual scholarship rankinG oF six amonG 22 na:onal and local Fraterni- :es on campus. The Delta Epsilon ac:vi:es outside oF scholarship represented more than twenty campus orGa- niza:ons includinG the Drama:c Club, Football, WrestlinG, Intramural Sports, ReliGious work and other interests. The Dean oF Men reported the Group’s social ac:vi:es to be “uniFormly oF hiGh order and never had occasion to discipline the chapter in any way.” West VirGinia University President John Roscoe Turner was the author oF the 1929 pe::on to Pi Kappa Phi. “It will be a pleasure, I assure you, to welcome Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity to the campus oF the West VirGinia University. -

WVU Leave a Trace
Leave-A-Trace 2014 While the Leave-A-Trace (LAT) curriculum will always remain a work in progress, it is important to acknowledge those who helped form the foundation for this very transformational tool. The WVU LAT curriculum was first developed by Greg Corio. In looking at other university freshman orientation trip curriculum models, Greg found a wonderful resource through the Outdoor Action (OA) Frosh Trip at Princeton University. With permission from Rick Curtis, OA’s Director, Greg used the ideas from OA’s curriculum and established the first WVU LAT (2004) to include the following topics: WVU Info, WV Info, Diversity, Campus Issues and Health Issues. In 2006, when Forrest Schwartz began working full-time for Adventure WV, he significantly added to the LAT curriculum. Forrest, with input over the years from many incredibly talented students and staff, largely shaped LAT to become what it is today.
