EMILY SAYS TO WEAR A MASK
Matthew Tolliver, MA ’08, adjunct instructor in counseling and president of the West Virginia School Counselor Association, had a lot of worried students during the pandemic. Luckily, he had Emily (pictured above) to help ease their fears and show them the way.
“As a school counselor at Skyview Elementary School in Westover, W.Va., I wanted to help relieve the anxiety of my students as they prepare to return to school. Emily, my puppet – and literal left-hand girl – helps me as I teach classroom lessons and talk with students.”
ISN’T IT IRONIC?
Suzanne Gosden, management assistant chair and teaching associate professor, has a mask with every professor’s catchphrase. Her entry won “most ironic mask.”
“A former student made this mask for me! Isn’t it hilarious!!??”
LIP-SMACKINGLY GOOD
Angela Embrey, finance and business administrator at the Cancer Institute, won “most original mask” for a display from her garden.
“I grew these tomatoes and marigold flowers and picked them on Sept. 11, 2020, and they looked like a face. I posted on Facebook and people enjoyed him and with the help of others, we named him Sir Roma.”
