Kathy Friend has retired after more than 31 years of service to the University. Friend, most recently a web developer in University Relations, worked with nearly every department, college and school — and many student organizations — on websites and user training.

She began her WVU career in community relations at WWVU-TV in 1978. Prior to joining Web Services in 2001 when the unit was created, Friend worked at Civil Engineering and for a decade with the Vice President for Administration, Finance and Human Resources, where she created the VP’s first website in 1997 and also assisted President David Hardesty during his tenure.
