The
West Virginia University
College of Applied Human Sciences is partnering with the
Kanawha County Schools to address the critical need for literacy education
in West Virginia.
The partnership establishes a reduced per-credit tuition rate for a select cohort
of up to 25 education professionals from Kanawha County to pursue a
master’s degree in literacy education.
"As part of our deep commitment to the land-grant mission of WVU, we are addressing head-on the current challenges for learners in West Virginia and the shortage in the educator workforce,” Autumn Cyprès, dean of the WVU College of Applied Human Sciences, said. “I am thankful to President Gee and the senior WVU administration for supporting our efforts to work with K-12 leaders, teachers, and professional support staff in Kanawha County to make a real difference in our state.”
