In West Virginia, the question isn’t just why people leave, it’s why some never do. For every student packing up their apartment in Huntington or Morgantown with plans to start somewhere new, there’s someone else choosing to stay, not because they have to, but because they want to. And that choice, in a state so often defined by outmigration, says just as much about West Virginia as the decision to leave.

Everyone keeps telling us the economy’s doing well. Headlines point to growth, politicians point to numbers, and somewhere in all of that, students and young adults are left wondering why it doesn’t feel that way in real life because from where I’m standing, it doesn’t.

Spring has arrived, and the greenery on campus has begun to flourish and bloom as the weather warms. Students pass flower beds and oak trees every day, but what they don’t often see are the gardens hidden on the rooftops of the Science and Engineering Buildings or the Student Garden tucked behind the Career Education Building.
