The Pride of West Virginia
The home of the West Virginia University (WVU) Mountaineers and the growing cities of Fairmont, Clarksburg, Morgantown and Bridgeport, Mountaineer Country offers a sense of spirit and pride for West Virginia.
Spirit of Service
Fueled by their passion and love for West Virginia, Cooper Simmerman and C.J. Harvey decided to create Mountaineer Media during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Both C.J. and I felt compelled to work on a project that brought people together in a time when the world felt isolated,” says Simmerman.
Protecting Our Children
It’s not often talked about. Many don’t want to hear of it. Some are unaware it exists where they live. However you feel about it, human trafficking and child exploitation are realities in this day and age that exist in the very neighborhoods of West Virginia.

Name any crime show and you will see they all play out the same way. There’s a beginning, middle and an end. There’s a back story, an investigation and at the end of the hour, the criminal is caught and arrested. Justice is served. Roll the credits.
Building a Better Future
Chemical manufacturing is a tedious and technical process creating a challenge for the state’s manufacturers when communicating to the future workforce about potential careers. One manufacturer, Belle Chemical Company, has developed a robust educational outreach program to reach students from elementary through the university level across the state.
Training Tomorrow’s Health Care Providers
The Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) Institute for Academic Medicine’s goal is to ensure its physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other clinical caregivers are prepared to care for the people in the community today and for decades to come.
