This month, West Virginia University President Michael T. Benson stopped by The Holler to discuss how WVU acts as a tourism driver in North Central West Virginia. President Benson joined us as a part of his ”Welcome Home Tour,” where he intends to visit all 55 counties in West Virginia in the first year of his presidency.
Whether fans are traveling to Morgantown to cheer on the Mountaineers for a football game or watch the women's basketball team host the NCAA March Madness tournament, WVU athletics brings people to the area. But it's not just athletics, academic conferences, families visiting students, and West Virginians taking advantage of the resources their land-grant institution has to offer also add to the large number of people who travel to the region.
Listen to our conversation with President Benson to learn more about what WVU is doing to support tourism in West Virginia. And as a bonus, find out who he's cheering for in the WVU vs. Coastal Carolina Home Opener.
