To understand the potential and benefit from organized alumni involvement in education, one must recognize four groups -- students, faculty, administration, and alumni -- and how they can produce a more viable institution capable of meeting the demands placed upon it by society. The role of the alumnus has the lest obvious function in the life of the institution and therefore, the most difficult role to define in the formulation of policy and the governance of the institution. WVSC's office of Alumni Affairs, headed by Grover Smiley, Jr., is the main communications link between the College and its alumni. Homecoming is the busiest time of the year for this department and year after year Homecoming activities prove successful due to the coordination efforts of Alumni Affairs.
