Alumni Leaders Recognized as Distinguished
West Virginians
Years of service to their state and their alma mater are the
reasons two former WVU Alumni presidents recently received the
coveted Distinguished West Virginian Award from the governor's
office. Glenn Adrian and Stephen Goodwin were recognized for
their commitment to the state's flagship institution over the
decades.
Goodwin was the
100th president of the Alumni board. His tenure was marked with
increases in Alumni Association membership, and the launching
of new programs and initiatives. Under Adrian, the 101st president,
the Association organized its advocacy efforts throughout the
state and continued to build on strategic programming to benefit
WVU.
"I recommended Steve and Glenn to the governor after observing
all that they have done for WVU," explained Mike Garrison,
who is the governor's chief of staff, and also a member of the
Alumni board of directors. "They are both perfect examples
of what it means to be a distinguished West Virginian."
"I am extremely surprised and humbled by the award,"
explained Glenn Adrian. "It really means a lot to me,"
he continued.
"The University is something my family holds very dear.
We have been very committed to the Alumni Association and WVU
because it is such an important part of our lives," said
Steve Goodwin.
Adrian remains on the Alumni board as immediate past president.
Goodwin is active in the Alumni Association and now serves on
the WVU Board of Governors.

Going through the Motions
By Christy B. Day
Since receiving her master's in physical
therapy from WVU in 2001, Sheyi Ojofeitimi has been a woman on
the move. She spends her time studying how people move and patching
them up when they move the wrong way. As a research associate
for the Adam Center at Long Island University, she works extensively
with the Alvin Ailey of America Dance Theater. The dance company
was founded by Alvin Ailey in 1958 as an avenue for black modern
dancers to express their art and their love for dance. Today,
AAADT receives international, critical acclaim for its artistry
and unique style of modern and classical dance.
Ojofeitimi says she
owes much of her success to WVU's physical therapy program. "I
don't think I realized how good this program was while I was
at WVU. But once I began working I was thankful of how prepared
I was for the job," she explained. "I compare my education
and abilities with graduates from any university in New York
or anywhere, and I am as well or better prepared than most,"
Ojofeitimi continued.
Ojofeitimi's work with the dance theater can be compared to the
excitement of NASCAR's Daytona 500. Dancers often make their
way to her in the middle of a performance-much like racecar drivers
make pit stops in the middle of the race. "During intermission,
dancers often come to me with a sprained ankle, wrist, or whiplash-like
injury to the neck. I have to make a quick evaluation and determine
if it is safe for them to continue. It is tough because they
want to finish the performance and I have to decide if they can
be bandaged and allowed to continue, or if they have to be taken
out of the piece for more extensive treatment," she said.
She says the job is very rewarding in a lot of ways. "I
help dancers get back on their feet. They love to dance, and
when they are hurt and can't perform it is tough on them. I am
part of their healing process. It's the best feeling in the world
to help someone recover from an injury and watch them jump and
plié with a smile on their face," she said. Ojofeitimi's
job is demanding, and she loves every part of it.
