Default graphic for Events

The women’s basketball team will play host to Bryant Thursday (Nov. 15) in the WVU Coliseum at 10 a.m.

The game will promote and support Education Day. An estimated 8,000 local elementary and middle schools will be in attendance for the 10 a.m. tipoff. Admission is free for all fans.

Topics include nutrition, stranger/predator danger, oral health, the impact of electronics and skin/acne care and more.

With more than 160 school buses expected for the event, Coliseum parking on Thursday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. will be extremely limited. To offset this parking loss, all are reminded that short-term parking is available at a variety of short-term lots on the Evansdale campus, including the Alumni Center ST8, Water Tower lot ST6 by Blaney House, ST1 off of Patteson Drive, ST9 behind the Creative Arts Center, University Place parking garage located on University Ave., and Mountaineer Station on Van Voorhis Road below the HSC.

Parking is also available in downtown parking garages and lots operated by the Morgantown Parking Authority. All of these alternatives have easy access to the PRT and Mountain Line bus system, which are free to WVU students, faculty and staff.
