What's going on...
This new alumni center will be a place where you feel like you do when you hear the Alma Mater sung.
The WVU Alumni Association, in partnership with the WVU Foundation, Inc., is embarking upon a $12 million capital campaign to build a new home for Mountaineers. Learn how you can support the new alumni center.
Alumni and friends will take pride in finding a unique, new home ñ one that evokes the history, tradition and character of the downtown campus, including a landmark bell tower, reminiscent of Woodburn Hall. It also will provide a spacious and warm environment for visiting and reminiscing with old friends and classmates, for celebrating special events, watching ballgames, or attending meetings, conferences and reunions.

When asked what one word best describes herself, Terri Hornsby says “energetic.” It’s this energy that has undoubtedly helped Terri become the accomplished woman that she is today. While a student at WVU, she was a resident advisor, a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, the first African-American Homecoming queen and the first African-American female to be inducted into Mountain Honorary.
After graduating in ’86 with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Terri’s energetic lease on life continued as she tried her hand at a few different careers before finding her niche. She worked in radio broadcasting and marketing in West Virginia and retail in Maryland before relocating to Houston, Texas where she worked for two advertising firms. In 1995, after realizing how in demand women and minority owned companies were, Terri decided to open her own advertising company.
Ten years after opening its doors, TLC Adcentives has grown from an apartment-based business to warehousing and fulfilling orders for products that have been pre-selected for its clients. Although Terri didn’t always dream of owning her own business, she holds it as one of her greatest professional accomplishments and one that she takes very seriously.
“Being able to employ others and delivering on the promises that I make to my clients is very important.”
