The mission of West Virginia University states... "As a land-grant institution, the faculty, staff and students at West Virginia University commit to creating a diverse and inclusive culture that advances education, healthcare and prosperity for all by providing access and opportunity; by advancing high-impact research; and by leading transformation in West Virginia and the world through local, state and global engagement."

The faculty, staff and students of the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources work diligently to exemplify the importance of diversity and inclusion through this mission. We value and learn from the exchange of personal experiences, values, beliefs and views that arise from differences of culture, ethnicity, language, gender, age, race, religion, abilities/disabilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geographic region, and more.

In this first annual student-led conference, we will showcase the diversity of our institution and academic portfolios; come and join us for a day of celebration of WHO WE ARE! The event is open to students, faculty, staff and alumni; be the first to participate in this inaugural event!
