President’s Welcome

Dr. Tim Borchers, President
Welcome to West Liberty University! For nearly 187 years, West Liberty has served the state of West Virginia by preparing graduates to be leaders in their communities and professions.

As our mission states: “West Liberty University, established in 1837, was the first institution of higher education in West Virginia. Today, we are a dynamic, inclusive, student-centered community that cultivates scholarly exploration, experiential learning, creative expression, and global citizenship.

WLU is a public university committed to providing students with a comprehensive education from undergraduate to advanced degrees while serving as the region’s leading advocate for the arts, education, research, and economic opportunity.”

I have just started as President of West Liberty, but I have found numerous examples of how the institution lives its core values:

The faculty and staff truly care about and respect our students.
We offer an inclusive and innovative education.
Students engage in experiential learning, research, and artistic expression.

If you are a prospective student, I invite you to take a virtual tour of campus and plan your visit to the Hilltop.

If you’re an alum, I look forward to meeting you at Homecoming, an athletic or arts event, or a local reunion.

If you are a community member, don’t hesitate to contact me if you’d like to discuss ways that West Liberty University can make a broader impact in the Ohio Valley.

Go Hilltoppers!

Dr. Tim Borchers

President, West Liberty University
