I have learned that we have a wonderful group of faculty and students here at Fairmont. There are numerous opportunities for faculty and students to engage in undergraduate research experiences, and this makes our institution unique.
Much of the class time is filled up with ‘conversation’ instead of lecture. Students often remark that the classes are interesting and it always seems like we are just conversing with each other.
