The University Partnerships team was created to make it easier for businesses to work with West Virginia University and to provide campus partners with dedicated support throughout the partnership process.
How We Work
We help identify partnership opportunities, coordinate conversations across campus, and support each partnership from planning through implementation.
Our approach emphasizes:
- Long-term relationships instead of one-time sponsorships
- Partnerships that support University priorities
- Collaboration across colleges and units
- Clear expectations
- Measurable outcomes
- Ongoing communication
What This Means for Businesses
You'll have a dedicated point of contact who can help you navigate the University by connecting you with the right people and simplifying the partnership process.
What This Means for On-Campus Units
You'll have a partner who can help develop opportunities and coordinate campus resources. We'll provide support throughout the lifetime of the partnership.
Why It Matters

- Strengthening Campus: Strategic partnerships can enhance programs, events, and services that benefit our entire campus community.
- Advancing WVU's Mission: By building lasting relationships with organizations that share our goals, we create opportunities that support the University and our mission.
