SUMMARY:More Than a Crown: My Journey to Miss West Virginia 2026
DESCRIPTION:About the Speaker: Elizabeth Romanek\, Miss West Virginia 2026\nMBA student\, college recruiter\, two-time National Dance Alliance Collegiate Champion\, and WV Physical Activity Plan Ambassador Elizabeth Romanek of Wheeling has added a new title to her list of accomplishments: Miss West Virginia 2026. \nAt the top of her agenda is her community service initiative\, M.O.V.E. (Motivate\, Optimize\, Vitalize\, Energize)\, which encourages all West Virginians to get moving in ways that suit them best. The message matters here. West Virginia’s obesity rate of 41.2% is the highest of all 50 states\, and largely because of obesity and chronic disease\, the state consistently ranks at or near the bottom in life expectancy. Promoting a healthier West Virginia through movement is at the heart of Elizabeth’s work. \nElizabeth is committed to organizing wellness clubs and after-school activities that keep kids active. As a competitive dancer growing up\, she discovered the benefits of movement early\, and dance shaped not only her health but also her confidence and discipline. Through M.O.V.E.\, she hopes to give other young people the same positive experiences. \nA summa cum laude graduate of West Virginia University\, Elizabeth earned her degree in Marketing\, drawn to the chance to connect with people and communicate creatively. She is now pursuing a Master of Business Administration while serving as Assistant Director of Admission and Recruitment Events at Bethany College\, where she guides young people in their pursuit of higher education.

SUMMARY:Architect\, Archaeologist\, President: Meet Dr. Cameron Wesson
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 24\, we welcome Dr. Cameron Wesson\, who became Shepherd University’s 17th president on July 1\, 2026. Just weeks after his formal investiture\, he joins us to share his vision for Shepherd and what the university means to Shepherdstown. \nBefore coming to Shepherd\, Dr. Wesson served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at La Salle University in Philadelphia\, and before that as provost and dean of the faculty at Franklin & Marshall College. He has devoted more than three decades to higher education\, starting with about 20 years as a professor and then moving into roles as department chair\, associate dean\, dean and provost. Along the way he has taught and led at the University of Oklahoma\, the University of Illinois Chicago\, the University of Vermont and Lehigh University. \nTrained as both an architect and an archaeologist\, Dr. Wesson grew up in Talladega County\, Alabama\, and earned two bachelor’s degrees at Auburn University\, one in architecture and environmental design and one in anthropology. He has said he didn’t discover anthropology until he was nearly four years into the architecture program\, and a professor convinced him to stay an extra year for the second degree. He went on to earn his master’s and Ph.D. in anthropology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His books\, articles and archaeological research have taken him across North America and the United Kingdom. \nDr. Wesson brings a lifelong commitment to learning\, discovery and student success. He has named getting to know the community and keeping Shepherd “student serving” as top priorities\, and he chose the Shepherd University Foundation’s Last Dollar Fund\, which helps students cover tuition-related costs\, as the cause for his inauguration celebration. As he put it shortly after his appointment\, “The Ram Fam is a real thing\, as I’ve discovered.” \nPlease join us in giving President Wesson a warm Rotary welcome!
