Touch WVU: Getting a hands-on feel for West Virginia University

For the mechanical engineering and Russian Studies double-major, attending West Virginia University simply isn't enough.

Cody White can’t keep his hands to himself.

For the mechanical engineering and Russian Studies double-major from Charleston, attending West Virginia University simply isn’t enough.

White, a Boren Scholar, has experienced WVU in a way that would have germophobes reeling for hand sanitizer.

He’s going around touching everything. Really.

His penchant for poking originated in a 2011 study abroad trip to Russia, where he explored the country by touching people and landmarks. This was documented in a video titled Touch Russia, which was nominated for a Vimeo award.

White reprised this role in Touch WVU, in which he literally experiences the University hands-on. Follow this link to view the video: http://youtu.be/KdkcIl1hKqM.
