The mission of the Leadership, Inclusion and Future Talent (LIFT) Mentoring Program is to prepare new Mountaineer students from underrepresented backgrounds, to succeed socially, academically, and professionally at West Virginia University and beyond. This program was created in partnership with WVU Student Engagement and Leadership.
