成立于1837年, 西利伯缇大学 is a forward-looking, four-year public university steeped in a rich heritage as West Virginia’s oldest institution.

Today it offers more than 70 undergraduate majors, plus a growing number of graduate programs including master's in education, physician assistant studies, 犯罪学, 生物学, professional studies and an online MBA.

We went from having an underperforming network to being a leader in our state for on-campus Wi-Fi. The impact this has on our students and faculty is nothing short of amazing. We couldn’t have done it without ALE and Dagostino.
