WEST LIBERTY, W.Va., Aug. 14, 2019 — West Liberty University invites the public to a celebration marking the 10th anniversary of the opening of the WLU Highlands Center at 10 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 24.

Dean Thomas Michaud joins Highlands Center manager Savannah Scott in preparing for the 10th Anniversary of the Highlands Center on Aug. 24.

The Highlands Center was the culmination of their efforts and dream as they sought to meet the educational needs of working adults.

“I am grateful for the support of our alumni, staff and friends who supported the Highlands Center and am pleased that this site continues to serve so many of our non-traditional students and others daily,” said McCullough.

WLU’s Highlands campus is onveniently located in the Highlands Shopping Complex.

Also speaking will be Dean of the School of Professional Studies Dr. Thomas Michaud. He will update attendees on the Regents Bachelor of Arts (RBA), the Bachelor of Applied Science and the Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership and Administration (BLA) degree programs, popular accelerated degree programs offered at the Highlands and online that serve working adults.

Michaud will also introduce WLU’s new Director of the Master of Arts in Education degree program, Dr. Nicole Ennis. This master’s program for professional educators is housed at the Highlands campus.
