Alma Mater by Louis Corson
Alma, our Alma Mater, The home of Mountaineers. Sing we of thy honor, Everlasting through the years. Alma, our Alma Mater, We pledge in song to you. Hail, all hail, our Alma Mater, West Virginia “U.”
A Congratulations from President Gee
December 2016
Congratulations on reaching a pivotal milestone.
With hard work and dedication, you have scaled a steep summit. But as the word “commencement” implies, your real journey is only now beginning.
You will undoubtedly make some unexpected detours along the way. I certainly have, in the 48 years since I donned my own cap and gown.
You may doubt your direction at times.
But the unique skills and strengths you honed here will drive you forward.
The hopes and goodwill of 190,000 other West Virginia University graduates will sustain you.
And your own beliefs and values will guide you to the perfect destination.
You are a Mountaineer.
Your future is as boundless as your dreams.
Let’s go.
Sincerely,
E. Gordon Gee President West Virginia University
