"The West Virginia University College of Law was recognized by National Jurist Magazine as one of the top schools in the country in terms of community impact."
"According to a release from the college, WVU Law placed second in the magazine’s law school honor roll. Honorees were ranked in connection with the pro bono services they provided during the 2015-2016 year."
Interesting read from a Pittsburgh perspective about WVU Medicine's massive growth and hiring spree. Some interesting things in the article:
"The system employs more than 12,000 people and its outpatient volume has been growing by 8 percent to 10 percent annually in recent years, Mr. Wright said, while preliminary discussions are underway for a second patient tower."
"Funding the growth spurt at WVU Medicine was a $200 million bond issue in 2013 and a $150 million issue that is anticipated to close in March." So the 200 million bond issue was for the tower that is opening right now, makes one wonder what the $150 million is for, possibly the new children's hospital that is supposedly to be announced some time this year.
"“We’re in a major growth mode,” said Mr. Wright, adding that WVU Medicine is recruiting 153 doctors in 2017, including ones to fill 110 new positions. “We’re building an exceptional hospital system in Morgantown, so patients never have to leave West Virginia for great care.”"
I read somewhere that recent acquisitions have actually boosted total employment to around 14,000, but I can't recall where I saw that. The surprising thing is Mon General continues to prosper and grow literally next door to this outstanding system.
I think it is inevitable that one of the Wheeling hospitals will join in at some point. Ohio Valley was bought out by the same company that owns the hospital in Fairmont, but Wheeling Hospital lacks a larger affiliation so that would be likely. Getting a hospital in Wheeling involved would put even more competitive pressure on Pittsburgh from a different direction.

It'll be interesting to see the explosion in growth if the state gets rid of the onerous process to receive a certificate of need to expand a hospital. Supposedly the state is looking at doing away with the stupid system.

The state would benefit greatly if they got the political hack appointee system out of the way of progress, that's for sure. Healthcare options and quality would grow quickly without that senseless albatross.

I was just thinking the same thing about Mon General. They too are growing by leaps and bounds with lots of new construction around their main unit plus taking over other facilities and practices both in Morgantown and in surrounding areas such as Preston Memorial.
More than 100 employers (some of them local to Morgantown and some others from West Virginia companies) came to interview WVU students for job openings at this year's WVU career fair.
I have to admit I've never heard of him, but then again rap music is not a preferred style for me but you are correct, he is playing the coliseum. To be playing there, he must have some large following.
2008-2009 he was one of the hottest music artist in the industry.
He is still riding from that success.
WVU A & E got him for very cheap.
I mean it's pretty cool but wait a couple more years til you see him at Mainstage Morgantown. Tickets will be cheaper by then.
