Golden Bear Students -- Help us organize Monty's Executive Closet!

WVU Tech's Executive Closet recently received a large donation from a local non-profit. On Friday, February 16, 2024, from 9 am to 12 pm, we will meet at the facilities metal storage building at 200 Riley Street (behind the Innovation Parking Lot) to sort, organize, and categorize all items. This is an excellent service project for anyone interested in learning more about non-profits in the Raleigh County area, as items will be donated to Goodwill, AWAY, and the Salvation Army.
