Be sure to check your 'Gee Mail'

A new academic year is here.

Morgantown is back to experiencing the daily hustle and bustle of a robust college town. Fall weather and football are just around the corner. And a new freshman class will be taking those important first steps toward achieving the American dream of a college education.

West Virginia University President Gordon Gee is here to welcome everyone back — or to welcome you for the first time — to this beautiful campus we call home.

In his welcome back message, Dr. Gee tells you about his summer — and takes questions from students — a la David Letterman — in a lighthearted segment called “Gee Mail.”

Doesn’t he know that Letterman already found a replacement?

More importantly, President Gee shares a heartfelt message with the Mountaineer community as we all enter a new academic year: Work hard, study hard, and don’t forget to have a little fun along the way.
