WVU graduate student to focus on opening pathways from foster care to college graduation as Newman Civic Fellow
West Virginia University student who grew up in wardships, what many know
as foster care, and wants to help others like her go to college and earn their
degrees is the University’s new Newman Civic Fellow.
Adalheid “Heidi” Crum, who will graduate in May with her master’s degree in
Higher Education Administration and begin doctoral work this fall in the
same program, said she hopes to serve as an inspiration to children growing up
within the system and also as a bridge between wardships and higher education.
