WELCOME FROM INTERIM DEAN PATRICK BROOKS
Welcome to WVU Tech!
As the Interim Dean of Students, I am honored to join this incredible community and to welcome you to campus. While I’m new to WVU Tech, I’m a proud native of Southern West Virginia, and it’s a privilege to serve in a place that feels like home. Whether you’re arriving from down the road or across the globe, you now belong to a campus family rooted in tradition, opportunity, and care.
WVU Tech is a place where you will be known—not just by name, but for who you are and who you aspire to become. Our campus may be small in size, but it is big in heart and rich with the full university experience. During your time here, you’ll build lifelong friendships, grow in unexpected ways, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
The Division of Student Life is here to support you throughout your journey. Our departments, including Student Accommodations, Career Services, Counseling, Dining, Housing, Student Health, Student Organizations, TRIO Student Support Services, University Police, Student Success Center, and TRIO Upward Bound, are all dedicated to helping you thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Getting involved in campus life is one of the best ways to make the most of your time here. From leadership opportunities to community engagement and everything in between, we encourage you to jump in and take part in all that WVU Tech has to offer.
This is your time to make your mark. Whether you start a new student organization, lead a service project, join a club that inspires you, or simply show up and support your peers, your involvement shapes the experience for everyone, and leaves a lasting legacy. WVU Tech isn’t just a place where you go to school, it’s a place you help build, grow, and define.
If there is anything I or a member of the Student Life team can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you.
Welcome to your new home away from home. I’m so glad you’re here.
All the best,
Patrick W. Brooks
