🏈 TODAY IS GAME DAY!

Here's a throwback to Stinger’s Spring Bash, President Cage stepped into the action and called the first offensive play of the Black & Gold Spring Game, which led to an immediate touchdown! 🔥

Now, it’s time to bring that same energy to the start of the regular season. Join us today as we take on Chowan University!

A new era of Yellow Jacket Cheer is here! 💛🖤

For the first time, West Virginia State University is recognizing cheer as a competitive sport, building on the energy and pride our cheerleaders bring to campus while creating new opportunities to train, compete and represent WVSU.

Leading this exciting transition is new Cheer Coach Ziyan Harris, who will guide the program as it takes the floor in competition.

Please join us in welcoming Coach Harris and celebrating this year's squad as the future of WVSU Cheer!

Today, on what would have been Katherine Johnson’s birthday, the WVSU community gathered at her statue to honor her extraordinary legacy.

A pioneering mathematician, NASA trailblazer and WVSU alumna, Katherine Johnson helped change the course of space exploration and continues to inspire generations of students to pursue bold goals.

We also proudly congratulate this year’s Katherine Johnson Scholarship recipients: Natalyia Sayles, Alisha Suhirtharatnasingam, Sierra Scott, Aubrey Turner and Lyra West.

Congratulations to these outstanding Yellow Jackets as they carry forward a legacy of curiosity, excellence and possibility. 💛🖤
