See a video tour of our lab and office spaces

We are so disappointed that COVID-19 prevents our graduate applicants from coming to WVU to see all that we have to offer. Although it’s no substitute for the “real thing,” St. Peter lab graduate student Olivia Harvey put together this great video tour of our spaces and people that we hope gives applicants a sense of what it’s like to learn and work at WVU.

Graduate School Admissions!

Congratulations to undergraduate lab member Alexander Houchins, who will be starting WVU’s Master’s program in Instructional Design and Technology this summer!
