Good morning, Morgantown.

Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office released its Wanted Wednesday report to share active arrest warrants for individuals charged with crimes across Monongalia County, nearby areas, and West Virginia.

The report lists suspects facing charges from breaking in to assault and drug offenses—officials urge residents not to approach them and to call 911 if spotted.

A revised Class Registration page is now available in the IT Help Center to help students, advisers, and staff register using STAR and Schedule Builder as well as drop classes, manage waitlists, and address common errors—providing current and clear guidance.

The page is a collaboration among the Office of the Registrar, Information Technology Services, the Center for Learning, Advising and Student Success, and other academic units, and staff are urged to bookmark it for accurate information.

Between July 6 and 12, nearly 50 ninth and 10th graders from across West Virginia attended the Governor’s Computer Science Institute hosted by WVU Center for Excellence in STEM Education and the Department of Education—where they practiced robotics, coding, and other computer science skills. Their projects and hands-on work helped build a strong foundation for future STEM careers.

Morgantown Municipal Airport will receive a $9.52 million FAA grant to start Phase 6 of its 1,001-foot runway extension project that will move 450,000 cubic yards of rock to form an embankment for future expansion.

The work will support both the runway and the planned I-68 Commerce Park—this phase also requires a $500,000 city match with half expected from a state grant.

WVU finalized a second contract amendment for women's basketball coach Mark Kellogg on June 30—this deal raises his salary to $675,000 for the upcoming season and adjusts his buyout and retention bonus terms to potentially extend his contract through the 2031—32 season.

Over his first two seasons, Kellogg led the team to a 50—16 record that included two trips into the second round of the NCAA tournament.

The column updates readers on WVU men’s basketball coach Ross Hodge, who since his April press conference has made strong first impressions by reaching out to basketball alumni—former point guard Truck Bryant and guard James Reese praise his honest and supportive approach—while former assistant Ron Everhart now works as a fundraiser at Fairmont State.

After only one practice, Best Virginia advanced in the West Virginia regional with a 79-68 win over Elite Nation on Tuesday — a swift team-building effort led by coach Jarrod West.

The team will host Maryland alumni Shell Shock in the TBT national quarterfinals at 6 p.m. Monday at Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center — and they need three more wins to claim the champion’s million-dollar purse.
