Fairmont State University is moving along right on schedule as it conducts a national search for its next president, aided by search firm Buffkin/Baker. 

“The Committee is thankful for all of the work Buffkin/Baker has done for and alongside us,” said Dr. Chuck Shields, search committee tri-chair. 

Three incoming Fairmont State University freshmen have been selected as the recipients of Fairmont State’s premier academic scholarship, the Charles J. McClain Presidential Scholarship. Sophie Stuart from Jefferson High School (Charles town, W.VA), Hailey Jordan from Fairmont Senior High School (Fairmont, W.VA) and Jayden Sharps from Scott High School (Madison, W.VA) are this year’s Presidential Scholars and will be joining the campus community this fall.
