Why WVU?

Alexis Cipoletti

December 2025 Exercise Physiology graduate from Wellsburg, WV

In the exercise physiology program, there is a strong sense of support from both my classmates and my mentors. Even though it is a large school, it doesn’t really feel like that to me. It feels like I always have peers and faculty to rely on whom I feel very close to and connected with.
