WVU Collegiate 4-H’er explores new roads, discovers passion for sports marketing
When soon-to-be West Virginia University graduate Rachel Morgan arrived on campus as a freshman, pursuing marketing was not on her radar, nor was an interest in sports media. But as she can now attest, country roads can not only take us home – they can lead us to places we never expected.
Morgan, a WVU Collegiate 4-H’er from Bridgeport, West Virginia, became interested in attending WVU as a result of her lifelong involvement in the WVU Extension 4-H program. Though she was initially enrolled in another major, once she discovered the marketing program in the John Chambers College of Business and Economics , her entire path started to shift.
