The WVU Foundation is organizing the 24-hour online fundraising event Wednesday, March 3, as a convenient way for alumni and friends to contribute to the University. This year’s theme, “A Stronger Tomorrow,” reflects the critical importance of private support in moving the University forward – and ensuring students can proceed with their education – amid the economic challenges of the pandemic and decreased public funding.
