It’s a year in review as we take a look back at President Davis’ first year at Fairmont State University.
When my family and I decided the time was right to explore leadership positions in higher education, I knew the kind of school I wanted to lead. And when I first saw the announcement that Fairmont State University was looking for a new president, I told them: “This is the one!”
You can relive inauguration of President Micheal K. Davis through a video recapping the event that is now available!
President Michael K. Davis lays out his vision for Fairmont State becoming the best regional university in West Virginia by being a great place to learn, a great place to work, and a great place to call home.
It was a rainy week, to say the least, but Fairmont State University was shining brighter than ever this afternoon as the Inauguration of its new President took place.
Fairmont State University officially inaugurated its 27th president, Mike Davis on Thursday after he officially stepped into the role in July 2023.
Fairmont State University inaugurated its new president Thursday. Mike Davis has held the position since last July, but he was formally invested as president Thursday evening, formally conferring the authority and symbols of the office to him.
In the nine months since taking office as president, Dr. Davis said the community has been helpful and accommodating to him and his family. Davis said the outpouring of support has included personal invitations to people’s homes, cheat sheets on important community facts, dinner reservations. It’s a feeling of belonging that Davis has appreciated the most.
