Welcome to Residence Life at WVU Tech
Welcome to Tech
Now that “almost” everyone has settled in to their rooms, it is time to start looking forward. We have a home football game Saturday at 1:30 pm against Olivet Nazarene. There will be music, inflatable games, and the board plan brunch meal will be served under a tent at the football field before the game. If you wear Tech clothing to the game you will receive blue and gold mardi gras type beads. After the game, relax at what we are calling “the 5th Quarter”, in the activity room in the Tech Center.
Thursday night game at Glenville. The 2nd game of the season will be a Thursday night game at Glenville. Students can ride up in coach buses, get tickets to the game, tailgate under a tent, and generally have a great time, all for FREE. Sign up in the Bear’s Den or Student Activities Office.
