No previous skills are necessary, and individuals do not have to be a WVU Parkersburg student to register.
“I homeschool my children, and it is amazing for us to go to a class and learn something that I don’t have the ability to teach,” said community education student Michelle Murray. “I want this program to continue, and for more classes to open up. There are so many community members that can share their skills and interests with students like me and my family.”
