Welcome Weekend

On Monday, August 1, Fairmont State University faculty and staff gathered in the Falcon Center for the annual Opening Session and Welcome Breakfast to kick off the new academic year.

Fairmont State and the Tygart Valley United Way have partnered for the second consecutive year to host the Fairmont State Day of Action, which aims to provide a community service component to the University’s Welcome Week programming.

Last week hundreds of Fairmont State University Falcon students moved into their new homes for the next several months with the help of faculty, staff, and students. 

President Dr. Mirta Martin was out working alongside them as they all meet the newest cast of Falcons with big smiles, Welcome Home tents, and a lot of help. Students, faculty, and staff worked diligently to unload cars and transport supplies to students’ rooms. 

Thursday hundreds of Falcon students moved into their “nests” for the next several months with the help of faculty, staff, and students at Fairmont State University. 

President Mirta Martin worked alongside the campus team as they met the newest cast of Falcons with smiles, cold water, and large Welcome Home tents. The biggest brigade consisted of students who worked to unload cars and carry supplies to student’s rooms.
