A University on the Move

Former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch, WVU alumnus Steve Goodwin, WVU President David C. Hardesty Jr., and Senator Robert C. Byrd exchange greetings prior to President Hardesty's annual State of the University address at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill. Hardesty's address focused on WVU's accomplishments and its future. "By 2010, we are considering the possibility of enrolling 30,000 students on the main campus in Morgantown," he told West Virginia's congressional delegation. This is the 26th year for the annual luncheon sponsored by the National Capital Area Chapter of the WVU Alumni Association.
