Departure from WVU will be around 12:30. Just a couple of reminders: no back packs or bags will be allowed into the building. Only clear bags will be allowed, students who bring a lunch from home must have the bag packed in a clear storage bag (Baggies). Walmart bags do not count. We will not be taking students to the concession stands, so they do not need money. We do encourage everyone to wear blue and gold to help cheer on our undefeated WVU Women’s basketball team!!
