Faculty and staff
Per WVU guidelines, only essential staff will be on our campuses for the rest of the semester. The best way to get in touch with your instructors and advisors is by phone, email or text.
I encourage you to read the following blog post from BeWell that can help you through this stressful time.
In addition, COVID-19 updates will appear on our School of Nursing coronavirus web page.
We know this is a trying and very anxious time, especially for our students. Our faculty and I are committed to you and your overall nursing education. Thank you for your support, your patience and your flexibility during this unprecedented event.
Be safe and be well!
