Dear Student,

Welcome to the Golden Bear Family! As you pack your bags and envision your life at WVU Tech, I wanted to convey the importance of thinking critically about what you will bring with you and what you will leave behind. I’m not talking about what you put into your suitcase physically, but rather what attitudes, knowledge, and values come with you and, maybe just as importantly, what you consciously leave behind as you transition to campus.

At WVU Tech, we allow our values of Service, Curiosity, Respect, Accountability, and Appreciation to guide us. I believe that you will find our Students, Faculty, and Staff living out these values make WVU Tech a great place. I trust this spirit is part of what has drawn you to campus. Now that you are a Golden Bear, it is vital to understand that you have a role and responsibility in shaping our values-driven culture.

The educational modules you are asked to complete through our campus partner, Get Inclusive, are an investment. As you gain knowledge from each module and reflect on your values and choices, you invest in WVU Tech’s commitment to sustaining a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment. I hope that as you complete each module and learn about substance safety, sexual violence, and inclusivity, you will bring the proper knowledge to campus to keep yourself and those around you safe. Beyond knowledge, I ask that you examine your attitudes and beliefs around these critical topics. Leave behind the faulty logic that your actions only affect you. Discard an unchecked assumption that you should only look out for yourself. Instead, adopt and hold on to the belief that in coming to WVU Tech, you are joining an interdependent community in which your choices and behaviors impact your roommate, classmates, and neighbors.

Pack thoughtfully! The weeks before moving to campus are an exciting and daunting time. As you make your final preparations, I encourage you to let this learning opportunity help shape what you pack. We must each live with what we bring. I encourage you to bring your best!

Respectfully,

Emily Sands
