“Students at Wise receive one-on-one attention from mentors and have opportunities for funding that students from other colleges would give anything to have. Close relationships with professors and funding opportunities allow UVa-Wise students not just to study abroad, but to take independent study courses, to do undergraduate research, and to develop themselves as scholars and professionals in ways that other students simply cannot. Whether UVa-Wise alumni choose to attend graduate school or enter the job market immediately after graduation, they are more than prepared for the academic and professional challenges that await

• them. At a time when many colleges have forsaken broad academic

training for the sake of “narrow specialization,” UVa-Wise has stayed true to its commitment to a well-rounded, liberal arts education, and the success of its graduates in the academy and on the job market attests to the merit of its ideals. Robert Powers ‘19

“UVA-Wise is the most important economic asset in all of Virginia's e-Region. Time and time again, the university and its leadership have supported local, regional, and state economic development efforts. Indeed, UVA-Wise is the go-to institution for VEDP’s rural and small metro technology centers initiative in Southwest Virginia. I’m hopeful we will be able to attract a big job creation opportunity in the Wise area thanks to UVA-Wise’s current programs as well as its plans for the future.” Stephen Moret President and CEO Virginia Economic Development Partnership
