Student Life

🌟 Student Life

While the time students spend inside the classroom is extremely important, the time outside the classroom can make all the difference too. Maximize your college experience by exploring ways to get involved, find your people, and most importantly, have fun!

WVUp All Night

WVUp All Night is an award-winning late-night program for students on weekends that takes place right here in the Mountainlair. The program, the first of its kind in the United States, started in 1998. It takes place each Friday and Saturday evening during the fall and spring semesters and offers free games and activities, snacks, breakfast, volunteer opportunities and tutoring sessions. In the past, WVUp All Night has hosted indoor ice skating, mechanical bull riding, and even a fan favorite: build-a-bear workshops!

Project 168 is a self-paced, co-curricular experience that will offer a minimum of 50 opportunities to engage in ten competency areas.
