As August — National Make-A-Will Month — comes to a close, don’t miss this opportunity to take an important step toward greater peace of mind.

Creating or updating your will is one of the most thoughtful things you can do for the people you love. It helps make your wishes clear, protects those closest to you, and can carry forward the values and causes that have helped shape your life.

To make planning easier, Davis & Elkins College has partnered with FreeWill, a secure, easy-to-use online resource that allows you to create or update a legally valid will at no cost, often in about 20 minutes.

Through FreeWill, you can help ensure your wishes are documented, review important beneficiary information, and make plans for the people and purposes that matter most to you.

Planning ahead is more than paperwork. It can be an act of love, and a lasting expression of what you value.

Begin or update your free will now: https://buff.ly/bMHo9HJ

This Wild and Wonderful Country Fest was one for the history books, Elkins! 🎶

A huge thank you to everyone who brought this vision to life: our incredible vendors, the food trucks, everyone who showed up, and Davisson Brothers Band, alongside all the amazing artists, for an unforgettable show.

The perfect kickoff to the semester!

We are incredibly proud of our D&E Resident Assistants and Resident Directors for the hard work they put in over the weekend at the Upshur County Flood Relief Distribution Center.

Our student leaders swapped their standard weekend plans to help sort donations and pack supplies for local families impacted by the floods. Leadership isn't just about managing residence halls; it's about serving others and showing up for our community.

Thank you, RAs and RDs, for living out the true spirit of D&E!
