Share your WVU Love Story
Jan 11, 2010
WVU holds many special memories for our alumni and friends. But, perhaps some of the most memorable stories come from those who met that special someone while on campus. There are so many amazing stories of alumni and friends who fell in love at WVU.
There is the great story of Jimmy and Katie McCartney. Jimmy was student body president and remembers seeing this “cute” little blonde in line at E. Moore Hall. He knew he had to meet her, and now, more than 65 years later, the two have made a wonderful life together. Share your story with us.
Help the Pride Travel Fund
Oct 12, 2009
For Mountaineer fans, the “West Virginia University Marching Band’s pre-game and half-time performances are integral parts of the home football game experience. But taking “The Pride” on the road can be quite a challenge.
Getting the nearly 400-member band to away games or events around the state is quite expensive.
Although the University and the Athletic Department provide financial support for the band, escalating travel expenses exceed the band’s budget. Simply put, private support is needed for the band to travel outside Morgantown.
Jay Drury, director of the Mountaineer Marching Band, said buses, hotels and food are the three major travel costs for the band. The largest single expense is the nine charter buses it takes to move the band from one location to another. The Pride Travel Fund, established by the WVU Foundation, helps defer travel costs associated with the band. Without the support of WVU alumni and friends through the Fund, the band’s appearances will be limited. Read more.
