WVU in the News: Local "Hometown Heroes" recognized by West Virginia Can't Wait
When disaster strikes or problems arise, it is the hometown heroes who are the first to lend a hand in local communities. Across the state, 40 groups and individuals have been named "Hometown Heroes" by West Virginia Can't Wait. Instead of recognizing professional advocates and large nonprofit organizations, West Virginia Can't Wait said they sought out people and groups who are making a difference without much money or many connections.
WVU School of Public Health PhD student, Rosalina Mills, was one of seven Hometown Heroes named from Monongalia County.
