Strategic Partnerships The university has a history of forming partnerships with local and regional institutions (Tygart Valley United Way, Wheeling University, Appalachian School of Law) which suggests openness to collaborations, joint programs, and pathway agreements that could be expanded with technology, fundraising, or shared services.

Leadership Transitions Recent interim appointments in executive roles (Interim President and Interim VP of Institutional Advancement) indicate a period of strategic planning and potential openness to new vendors, platforms, or services that support fundraising, accreditation readiness, and academic program expansion.

Growth Opportunit ies Reported revenue in the mid six-figure to low seven-figure range and a staff size under 200 points to a mid-market trajectory with needs around scalable IT, cloud, and digital marketing solutions that deliver ROI for a small-to-mid-sized university.

Technology Footprint Current tech stack includes analytics and enterprise tools (Facebook Pixel, Google Chrome, Adobe, VMware) suggesting opportunities to offer integrated marketing analytics, student CRM, LMS enhancements, and virtualization or cloud modernization services.

Community Engagement Active community and regional engagement through United Way partnerships and local media coverage presents a channel for targeted outreach programs, donor management, and impact storytelling services that can boost fundraising and recruitment campaigns.
