The WVU Purpose Center will host its fourth annual Week of Purpose beginning Monday (Sept. 22). 

The week will feature a session on “Knowing the Strengths of Our Students” from 1-2 p.m. Tuesday (Sept. 23) or from 11 a.m. to noon Friday (Sept. 26) on Zoom. 

Jessie Barclay, student experience manager, will share data collected during New Student Orientation and Gallup surveys to help understand the strengths of our freshmen and overall student body. She will discuss how this information can be helpful as you interact and communicate with your students, and build curriculum and programming. Barclay will also explore how faculty and staff can leverage their own unique strengths as higher education professionals.
