Named after Charles F. Erickson, a West Virginia philanthropist and advocate of education, the Erickson Alumni Center is the home that WVU alumni will always have in Morgantown. The building's style is reminiscent of Woodburn Hall, and the Alumni Center is the location for everything from home football tailgates to large University events. WVU has 210,000+ alumni and over 75 Alumni Association chapters worldwide, so no matter where you go, you can yell “Let's Go!” and someone will answer, “Mountaineers!”
