We are seeking individuals between the ages of 18- and 64-years-old to participate in a research study to evaluate a laboratory model of leisure and physical activities.
Faculty are encouraged to apply to mentor undergraduates in scholarly activity via the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience program and to inform their undergraduates that SURE applications are open. The deadline to submit an application is March 2.
The OTT Lunch and Learn originally scheduled for October has been rescheduled for Dec. 8. This class is for people who have never used Kuali and want to add a skill or for those who may have questions regarding the platform.
Drivers on winding West Virginia roads often encounter road damage caused by rockfalls, even if they aren’t present when the rocks tumble down the hillside. WVU researchers hope to cut down on these events, as a pair of engineers have examined countermeasures considered useful in mitigating rockfalls, which can result in vehicle damage, traffic disruptions and injury or death to motorists.
