Do You Believe?
We continue educating tomorrow's leaders, who earn accolades and serve others daily. Over 9,000 alumni carry our mission into the world, and we are proud to be the top-ranked college in the Mountain State, as reported by U.S.News & World Report. We hope you will show that you believe in our mission by participating in our ongoing Annual Fund Campaign. After half a century of providing a quality Jesuit education, enjoying phenomenal growth from a community of faithful learners to an institution of national prominence, we are working hard to stay on top for the next 50 years.

HEALTHeWV For A Healthy Mountain State
We're proud to play a leadership role in HEALTHeWV, a new initiative that taps both the military's extensive health experience and the power of computers to provide West Virginia's physicians with immediate access to up-to-date medical information. HEALTHeWV allows physicians to more effectively monitor the health of people with diabetes, breast cancer, pediatric asthma, heart and lung disease, and other chronic diseases.

Enrollment Continues To Climb
We now have 998 full-time day students and we improved our retention rate for students who persist from freshman year to sophomore year by two percent over last year. We're seeing many "second-generation" Cardinals enrolling in our full-time programs, too. Those new students believe-just as their parents did--in the Jesuit advantage. If you know a good high school student, you can refer them to the University by contacting the Office of Admissions at 304-243-2359.

Three Gifts
We recently honored Dr. Norman Duffy, professor of chemistry, as our 2005 Teacher of the Year. He addressed the campus community during our Fall Honors Convocation with a speech entitled "Three Gifts," inspiring students to value the gift of life, including everyday life, educated life and elevated life.

Cardinals To Face Mountaineers
It was nearly 50 years ago when Cardinal Center Don Mercer took the opening tip in the very first Cardinal basketball game, December 1, 1956, against the Mountaineers in Morgantown. The Cardinals lost that game 92-71 but will face West Virginia University in an exhibition game, 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7, 2005 at WVU's Coliseum. Admission is $5 and all seating is general admission.
