Glenville State College wishes to eventually develop an ongoing literary reading series in which both local and nationally recognized poets, writers, and literary scholars could share their work in classroom visits and campus-wide readings. As a student-centered college, this would provide our students with a more “hands-on” approach to the study of literature. Your gift of any amount will allow us to bring visiting writers in to share their works. |
Theatre's campaign is to raise funds to support a touring performance by a regionally-known theatre performance group on campus. This would be scheduled for the Presidents Auditorium during the month of March. There are several possibilities for groups in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Western Virginia. There are also nationally known solo artists as well.

The Department of Math and Science is seeking to raise funds for the purchase of supplies for research and supporting travel to meetings to give research presentations involving students. Participation in research as an undergraduate is not only an important part of a student’s education but gives students necessary experience that helps when applying for jobs, graduate schools, and professional jobs. |
GSC Forestry is to raise funds for the purchase of two chainsaws that will be used for timber harvesting. Chainsaws are highly versatile pieces of equipment that can be used in many ways. They are extremely vital when needing to cut trees and harvest the timber. Harvesting has a long-term impact on the structure of forests and the functionality of the ecosystem. If you choose to donate $25 or more, the Land Resources Department will plant a tree in your honor! |
The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds to help students with the costs for taking Praxis exams.

The Department of Education is strongly committed to its mission of preparing exceptional teachers for the future. |

Members of Jazz band have selected to raise funds for a new PA system. A PA system would allow for the entire Jazz ensemble to perform and communicate at a much higher efficiency. This PA system will take our Jazz ensemble to the next step needed in order to continue to succeed over the years. |
The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds for the purchase of ONE marching band uniform that will launch a much larger campaign- to raise monies for 80 uniforms. The current uniforms for our beloved marching band are way past their lifespan and need replaced. We have worked very hard to help them last as long as possible, but with many of the uniforms we are at the point where replacing is the only option. |
GSC Bluegrass is seeking donations to purchase a golf cart. The GSC Bluegrass Director and students spend a great deal of time traveling to perform and promote the Bluegrass program all across the United States. Most bluegrass festivals last anywhere from one day up to one or two weeks. One common use of transportation for musicians and shuttling instruments are golf carts. |

Criminal Justice is "focused" on raising funds for the purchase of Fatal Vision goggles. The Fatal Vision intoxication simulator goggles can be purchased with different set levels of alcohol.

The Department of Fine Arts is looking to greatly enhance their students' learning experience by introducing Interactive Pen Displays that allow the students to use traditional mediums and techniques on a digital platform. This provides our students with leading industry skills and prepares them for exciting and rewarding careers in much wider fields of the creative arts. |
