On past episodes of News & Brews, we’ve spoken about the importance of frequent and engaging conversations between the AD and CFO, as well as other stakeholders within the University community.

Today on News & Brews, Katie and Ken talk with special guest, Simon Dover, Senior Associate AD and CFO of West Virginia University Athletics. He tells us how WVU capitalizes on synergies fostered by a culture of proactive and strategic collaboration to navigate challenges pre- and post-pandemic. And of course, they’ll discuss their beer choice of the week.
