The 168 Society recently acknowledged the hard work of students who have completed the Project 168 curriculum during an induction ceremony in the Mountainlair Ballrooms on Dec. 2.
Project 168 takes an innovative approach by formally recognizing the importance of learning outside the classroom and providing a credential for extracurricular effort.
A self-paced, co-curricular experience, the program offers students a minimum of 50 opportunities to engage in 10 competency areas while bringing WVU core values to life.

“Project 168 opened my eyes to the diverse opportunities available at WVU, fostering a deeper connection to my University community,” Lulgjuraj said. “I also gained valuable insights into my personal strengths through the CliftonStrengths assessment, which has empowered me to pursue my passions with confidence and clarity.”
“This experience not only enriched my academic journey but also contributed significantly to my personal growth,” she added.
Nearly 1,500 students are enrolled in Project 168 and approximately 70 faculty, staff and alumni serve as volunteer coaches.
