The Master of Arts in Literacy Education program at the West Virginia University College of Applied Human Sciences has been named a WVU Board of Governors Program of Excellence.

This designation reflects the highest standards for programs at WVU," said Matthew Campbell, Interim Director of the School of Education and Counseling. "Our Literacy Education faculty are national leaders in their field, and I'm proud of the work they have done to build and continually improve this program. The best measure of the program is its graduates, who lead literacy instruction in classrooms across the state and country."

Jaron Summers paused his college lacrosse career to join the West Virginia Army National Guard when COVID-19 hit, then returned home to finish his degree at WVU. Through WVU's accelerated bachelor's-to-master's program, he earned a bachelor's in Physical Education and Kinesiology and a master's in Physical Education Teacher Education. A paid student teaching position at Preston High School, where a teacher shortage put him in the classroom as the primary PE and health instructor, gave him hands-on experience before he graduated in 2022. Summers now teaches physical education and coaches lacrosse at St. Paul Christian Academy in Nashville.
