The college in your market is probably one of the largest employers on your commercial list, and most community banks have no relationship with it. T. Ramon Stuart, president of WVU Tech, and Bill Loving at Pendleton Community Bank built one anyway, out of a lunch for three that came to about sixteen dollars. They call it Communiversity — the community is the university, the university is the community. Key Points Start with the payroll: 309 full-time employees at WVU Tech roughly 849 across a year, counting part-time and contract work "Imagine if the majority of your deposits from payroll went into a community bank." Stuart calls colleges "the modern-day factories of town." Most of his own profession dislikes the comparison. He makes it anyway. Why the community bank is the right partner: It can look under the hood. A loan without clean comps still gets made, because the bank knows the borrower and knows the employer. And students who bank locally come back for the first mortgage — the cheers effect, where you go because somebody knows your name. Financial literacy is the way in: Most people learn about money after the mistakes, once credit is damaged and the rate is higher. First-generation students are the clearest case. On the credit card tables that used to line campus walkways — hand someone three thousand dollars who has never had a dollar and call it a free line — "I think that's very predatory." The co-branded card, and what it did: A Tech employee was checking out at a local business when the cashier recognized the card. She was a Tech graduate with an engineering degree working retail, because she had never managed to navigate the job market. They exchanged information. Less than a month later she had an engineering job. What holds it up: "Nobody really wants to talk finances." And inertia is the real competitor — if you open the app and the money is there, you do not go looking for a new bank. What To Do Monday Call the campus and offer to teach a class. Byron: "It's like asking a teacher or a professor, hey, can I come talk to a class? Absolutely, that's one time I don't have to lecture." Stuart's own reaction is puzzlement that this is not already everywhere: "It just fits, it flows." More on the initiative: [CONFIRM URL — wvutech.edu/communiversity] About the Guest T. Ramon Stuart, Ph.D. is president of the West Virginia University Institute of Technology in Beckley, where he has led the campus since January 2023. He is from McDowell County, holds degrees from West Virginia University and a doctorate from Ohio University, and became a college professor at 23. He previously served as president of Clayton State University and provost at Fort Valley State University, both in Georgia.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. …and now for the rest of the stories…on today's daily304.com! #1 – From WVU – WVU students learn what it takes to put on the show The crowd sees the performers. WVU students are learning everything it takes to get them onstage. Students in West Virginia University's Music Business and Industry Program are gaining real-world experience working Morgantown's Ruby Summer Concert Series, which has grown to attract more than 50,000 music fans each season. The series itself started as an idea sketched on a napkin in 2020. By 2022, performers including Don McLean and Charles Wesley Godwin were taking the stage at the Ruby Amphitheater. Today, WVU students help load equipment, manage merchandise, operate cameras and video boards, direct traffic and work live sound. Student Olivia Martens worked her way from event staffer to production assistant, coordinating directly with opening acts before they arrive. And sometimes the biggest lesson is learning to adapt. When wildfire smoke forced the cancellation of a Switchfoot and Hello June concert this summer, students got a real-world lesson in managing an unexpected event disruption.For these Mountaineers, summer concerts aren't just entertainment. They're preparation for careers in a multibillion-dollar music industry. Read more: https://stories.wvu.edu/songs-of-summer #2 – From WV LIVING – Building what he loves in Barboursville Music. Food. Beer. Art. For Barboursville entrepreneur Jason Beter, they're all different ways of building community. Beter opened Oscar's Breakfast, Burgers & Brews in 2017. Since then, his passion for independent local businesses has grown into 1861 Public House, Köerber Beer Company, Orbit's Record Shop and Outer Orbit Records. The businesses reflect Beter's own interests, but there's a bigger idea connecting them. He believes restaurants, breweries, record stores and other gathering places give communities their identity. They're where people meet friends, hear music, celebrate milestones and make memories. And he credits a team of family members, managers, cooks, servers, bartenders, brewers and others for turning those ideas into places people want to visit. It's a collection of businesses built around the things Beter loves. But maybe more importantly, they're built around a place he loves: Barboursville.

Emily Calandrelli (more widely known as Space Gal) grew up in Morgantown, West Virginia, with no scientists or engineers in her orbit. She chose engineering for the paycheck, discovered a love of science communication along the way, and eventually became the first woman in the country to solo-host a national science show. On this episode of She Pivots, Emily talks about pitching adult science shows for a decade only to hear that networks didn't think their male-dominated audiences would relate to a female host; pivoting to create Emily's Wonder Lab (the Netflix show that made her a household name to millions of parents and kids); and turning the show's cancellation into two bestselling books and a thriving YouTube channel. She also opens up about announcing her second pregnancy via a weather balloon at the edge of space, fighting for a federal law after being humiliated by TSA over breast milk ice packs, and why she's finally letting herself scale back with baby number three.

A dental practice can produce millions of dollars and still leave the owner wondering where the profit went. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with dental practice coach Courtney Dalton about the four financial gaps that determine how production becomes usable cash.You will learn how to identify losses within adjustments, collections, overhead, and cash flow, along with the metrics and systems needed to improve profitability. Understand where your practice's money is going and how to make informed financial decisions—listen to Episode 1082 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:The effort gap is the difference between a practice's full master fees and its net production after insurance and elective adjustments.Practices must enter full fees for every procedure so their production and adjustment data accurately reflect the dentistry performed.The collections gap measures the difference between net production and the money that reaches the practice's bank account.Financial policies, accounts receivable systems, insurance follow-up, and payment options directly affect collection performance.The overhead gap represents the percentage of collections used for operating expenses across seven expense categories.The cash flow gap explains the difference between profitability shown on a profit-and-loss statement and the cash available after loans, taxes, owner compensation, and other outflows.Measuring and monitoring each gap gives practice owners the information needed to make targeted financial improvements.Episode Chapters:00:00 Why high-producing dental practices can still lack profit.03:00 How production becomes profit within a dental practice.04:24 The effort gap and the impact of adjustments.05:44 Why practices must bill their full master fees.09:26 How the effort gap affects APV, PPD, and PPV.12:09 Why gross production does not determine practice value.14:08 The collections gap and the 99% collection target.16:04 Systems that improve collections and accounts receivable.21:08 The overhead gap and seven expense categories.23:04 Team compensation, staffing, and practice systems.26:22 The cash flow gap between reported profit and available cash.28:43 How loans and taxes affect cash flow.32:49 Why earnings and profitability determine practice value.33:20 The process of measuring, monitoring, and improving financial performance.34:39 How the four financial gaps affect one another.Guest Bio:With an A.S. in Dental Hygiene from Manor College and a B.S. in Exercise Physiology from West Virginia University, Courtney blends her expertise in both healthcare and wellness to drive success.As a member of the Business Development team, she is dedicated to helping doctors and practice owners realize their full potential by understanding the link between ownership, culture, and the health of the business.

After an accident, the first call from an insurance adjuster may seem helpful, but it can shape the outcome of a claim before an injured person understands their options. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Kevin Kaufman, Founding Partner and Attorney at Kaufman & McPherson Personal Injury Lawyers, who discusses how his transition from corporate law to a client-centered personal injury practice shaped his approach to advocacy, communication, and client reassurance. Kevin also explains how early legal guidance, trial preparation, and realistic expectations can affect the value and resolution of an injury claim. Key Takeaways:→ Injured people should be cautious about early insurance offers. → Insurance companies seek to resolve claims at the lowest possible cost.→ Trial preparation can strengthen settlement leverage. → Clients need clear explanations free of legal jargon.→ Community understanding can strengthen client advocacy. Kevin S. Kaufman graduated from Bridgeport High School in 1977, where he received a National Merit Scholarship, a full scholarship from Consolidated Natural Gas Company, and a West Virginia Achievement Scholarship. Mr. Kaufman completed his education at West Virginia University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, an MBA, and a law degree. Upon graduating from law school, Mr. Kaufman accepted a position with Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation. Shortly thereafter, he was selected to work in the law department of the newly formed production branch, Columbia Natural Resources. In 1987, Mr. Kaufman left the Columbia system to form the Charleston law firm Pierson & Kaufman. He remained a partner in that firm and in its successor, Pierson, Kaufman & Stowers, until 1992. In 1992, Mr. Kaufman returned home to North Central West Virginia and established The Law Offices of Kevin S. Kaufman, which ultimately became Kaufman & McPherson, PLLC.

Kim Porter opens up about the emotional toll addiction takes on families, the warning signs parents often miss, and the conversations that can save a loved one's life. A compassionate, powerful look at family recovery.Kim Porter, CFRS, is the Co‑Founder and Executive Director of Be a Part of the Conversation, a Pennsylvania‑based nonprofit she launched in 2011 to help families and communities better understand substance use, addiction, and behavioral health. What began as a small initiative in partnership with the Hatboro‑Horsham School District has grown into a widely respected regional organization that now partners with Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, and Delaware Counties, delivering nearly 50 community programs each year and hosting hundreds of support meetings for families impacted by addiction.Kim founded the organization after navigating her own family's journey through her son's substance use disorder. Today, he has been in recovery for more than 15 years, a milestone she frequently cites as the driving force behind her mission to ensure no family feels alone, ashamed, or uninformed when facing addiction.Under Kim's leadership, Be a Part of the Conversation has become a lifeline for families across Pennsylvania. The organization now offers Parent Partnership meetings 52 weeks a year, serving more than 2,300 parents, and has hosted nearly 500 events with over 32,000 participants since its founding. Its programs address prevention, early intervention, stigma reduction, treatment navigation, and long‑term family recovery.Kim is a Certified Family Recovery Specialist (CFRS), providing peer support and guidance to families seeking clarity, connection, and hope. Her work emphasizes the emotional toll addiction takes on the entire family system and the importance of community‑based healing. Her message is consistent: families deserve compassion, education, and a clear path forward.Before dedicating herself full‑time to this mission, Kim spent more than two decades as a graphic designer and marketing consultant. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Journalism from West Virginia University, where she also served as student body president — an early sign of her lifelong commitment to leadership and advocacy.Her work has earned numerous honors, including the 2024 Prevention Award from Pennsylvania's Commonwealth Prevention Alliance, Caron Treatment Center's Catherine Caron Outstanding Leadership Award, the Brian Early Community Leadership Award, and multiple community service recognitions. She also serves on the Advisory Board for The Bridge Way School, Pennsylvania's first recovery high school.Kim's impact extends beyond programs and awards. She is a leading voice in Pennsylvania's movement to reduce stigma, elevate lived experience, and empower families to speak openly about addiction. As she often shares, her family's journey through fear, confusion, and isolation became the catalyst for a mission that now brings light, education, and connection to thousands of others.Today, Kim lives in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, and continues to champion the belief that meaningful conversations about substance use and recovery can change lives — and that no family should ever have to navigate addiction alone.

In the final episode from Mental Health Awareness Month, the USA Hockey Podcast welcomes special host Abby Woodford back again for a thoughtful conversation with Dr. Kristen Dieffenbach of West Virginia University and the United States Center for Coaching Excellence. Together, they explore what it means to build a mentally healthy hockey culture, starting with respect, proactive education, open communication, and intentional leadership. Dr. Dieffenbach shares practical ways coaches, captains, and teammates can support one another before challenges become crises, while also helping athletes navigate difficult moments, team transitions, and the balance between competitive toughness and compassion. This episode encourages the hockey community to view mental health as part of everyday athlete development, not something addressed only when problems arise.

Send us Fan MailA winning program can be built on talent, but it's sustained by something harder to measure: trust, standards, and relationships that outlive the final box score. I'm joined by recently retired West Virginia University head baseball coach Randy Mazey and his wife Amanda for a candid, funny, and sometimes heavy conversation about what it really takes to build champions and keep your family steady while you do it. Randy breaks down how WVU baseball went from being on the brink to a top-tier college baseball program the whole state rallies around, and why he never wanted his “success” defined only by wins. Amanda gives the perspective most coaches never hear out loud: what it's like to sit in the stands as “the coach's wife,” how to handle criticism without feeding it, and how a supportive spouse helps shape culture from the background. We also dig into recruiting today, including the transfer portal, shifting rules, and how families can stay calm and focused on player development. Then we hit a topic every parent and coach has an opinion on: travel baseball. The Mazeys lay out a simple test for whether travel ball is working, plus what's broken when weekend results matter more than practice reps. Finally, they share the powerful Team Whammer story and how their son Weston's near-fatal on-field injury led to a foundation that helps families with rehab and recovery costs. If you care about coaching, leadership, and developing people not just players, this one stays with you. Subscribe, share this with a coach or parent who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Support the showFollow:  X | @BCUPod / IG @baseballcoachesunplugged Website - https://www.athlete1.netSponsor: The Netting Professionalshttps://www.nettingpros.com

In this week's episode, we speak with Dr. Rachel Bowser of Agnes Scott College about redefining AI fluency as a core component of a liberal arts education. Rather than focusing on technical skills alone, they explore how teaching students to critically evaluate AI—understanding its biases, limitations, and role in learning—can strengthen their ability to think, question, and make meaning. The conversation also highlights how embedding AI literacy alongside experiential learning—like global travel and workplace immersion—creates more equitable, high-impact opportunities for students. Ultimately, it's a call for institutions to shift from gatekeeping knowledge to expanding access, ensuring all students are equipped to navigate an AI-driven world with confidence and curiosity.

Brodie Kresser's journey to West Virginia University baseball is proof that big dreams can grow from small-town roots. The Iowa native arrived in Morgantown after a winding path that included a small high school program and junior college baseball, but aggressive recruiting from Mountaineer coach Steve Sabins convinced Kresser that WVU was the perfect fit. Three seasons later, the decision has paid off in a big way. Kresser has become one of the leaders of a Mountaineer team preparing to host an NCAA Regional before what promises to be a sold-out crowd at Kendrick Family Ballpark. In this episode, the “Guys” dive into Kresser's baseball journey, his competitive approach to the game and the role that family and faith have played throughout his career. The crew also discusses the growing excitement surrounding WVU baseball as postseason play arrives in Morgantown. Listener questions and comments complete the episode during Textual Healing.
