Hundreds of students were introduced to the wealth of career opportunities in the aerospace and aviation industry at March’s Student Aviation Summit.

On March 17 at a Board of Governors meeting, West Virginia University at Parkersburg approved an increase in tuition for in-state students and salary increases for some employees, among other items.

The new program will start with the Fall 2027 semester as a hybrid online program designed to accommodate the work schedules of employed individuals.

The scholarship was established by alumnus Terry Cox and his wife, Valen, to honor Valen as a military spouse who earned her degree over the course of 40 years.

The program will create a seamless transfer pathway for students who earn an associate degree at Nashville State Community College to continue on to earn a bachelor degree from Tennessee State University.
