New Students Getting Settled In at Wheeling University

WHEELING — Wheeling University welcomed the second-largest class in the past decade, more than 300 new students, to campus on Friday.

The university will begin the academic year with a nearly 10% jump in total enrollment, according to WU. The new students have come to Wheeling from 30 states or U.S. territories, as well as 40 countries around the world.

Jennifer Board, vice president of enrollment, believes working with faculty, coaches, and administration has been the key to the admissions team’s success this year.

“The growth of the university can be directly tied to our energetic president and board of trustees, as well as our dedicated faculty, staff, and coaches,” Board said.

Wheeling University President Dianna Vargo offered her gratitude to the faculty, staff, and administration
