West Virginia University President-elect Mike Garrison will participate in another public forum at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 27, in the Vandalia Lounge of the Mountainlair, now that students and others who were away for the summer are back on campus.

It will be the seventh in a series of open forums in which Garrison has participated. He will become WVU s 22nd president on Sept. 1.

I strongly invite students, faculty and staff all across campus to come and share their ideas on how we can make WVU better,Garrison said.The transition process has presented a great opportunity for us to listen. Weve had excellent participation so far in the forums, and I want a lot of students to join in the conversation as well.
