Two Wheeling natives Emma Blair and Amelia Jones are among eight West Virginia University seniors awarded the Order of Augusta, the university’s highest student honor.
Also, Adam Craig of Wheeling is one of 42 other WVU seniors to be honored by the WVU Foundation as “Outstanding Seniors.”
“Each spring, WVU recognizes its top graduates with the Outstanding Senior award and the Order of Augusta,” said Maryanne Reed, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. “These students have already become leaders, innovators and change-makers in their communities and beyond. I have no doubt that they will continue to ‘go first’ in everything they do.”
