WVU Homecoming Parade

Farewell to the Bergaminis

The Bergaminis, the senior couple who've been serving in Morgantown these past ten months, went home in September. We threw them a quick West Virginia-themed farewell party, complete with blue and gold cookies, a book about Italians in West Virginia, and our West Virginia state flag. We're all so grateful to the Bergaminis for their brief but loving service to our institute program.

My car is not very good at taking iPhone pictures :)

Pan Pong

It's like ping pong, only better. Pan Pong is an important staple of the WVU Mormon culture. ;)

September Missionary Booth

So Brad reminded me that we have an institute blog... whoops! Not that this is my longest absence. Thanks, Brad!

We had our first LDSSA missionary booth in September. It was super fun! We didn't get a picture of everyone who attended, but here's a pic of the stragglers. :)

Our next booth is this Wednesday, October 8th!

Opening Activities

2014-15 T-Shirt Design

We're changing up our t-shirt designs this year! The new shirt will have our institute theme (D&C 88:118), which will also be popping up in a few other places around the 'tute. Shirts can be ordered at the beginning of the school year for $10 each.
