The first group of teens enrolled in Fairmont State’s Middle College program have moved onto campus. And like any student heading off to pursue their education, they are need of all types of items to ease the transition.
The new program provides youth in foster care with safety, stability and well-being so they can reach their academic potential. For more information about the program itself, go to fairmontstate.edu/middle-college.
