“The Spectrum program allows working adult students the same college experience and education as those who attend traditional classes on campus, but with a location and schedule they’ll find convenient to their busy lives.  Spectrum accomplishes this by sending high-caliber instructors with real-world experience to over 90 locations accessible to students throughout West Virginia.  

“As a native West Virginian, I am excited to offer and oversee such an outstanding program. I have been all over the world and worked for the some of the largest companies in America, including WorldCom and Texaco.  My experience has been that there is no place as beautiful as West Virginia.  Everyday when I come to Mountain State University, I see how dedicated the staff and instructors of MSU are to providing top-quality, affordable programs that are convenient to students all across our state.   

“I, too, believe our students are entitled to the experience of an exceptional, character-building education—starting from any point in their lives, regardless of age or working status.  Like all Spectrum faculty, I believe that our own learning must be passionate and ongoing, and must spill over into our offices and classrooms.  That is why I make this promise to my Spectrum students:  I will nurture my own learning as well as yours, and I will plan and carry out our work, challenging both of us to take the risks associated with change and growth.

“I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.”
