“Being able to impact the community in Morgantown and across the state is very meaningful to us.” WVU faculty members and world-renowned astrophysicists, Duncan Lorimer and Maura McLaughlin were first drawn to the state by the Green Bank Observatory. Eighteen years later, they’ve established deep roots in Morgantown. Listen to the 2024 Homecoming Parade Grand Marshals share, in their own words, why West Virginia University became home. Let’s Go! 💛 💙
