From participating in Apple’s WVU College Support Program, serving as vice president of student outreach for WVU’s Chapter of American Marketing Association and president of WVU’s largest student-run philanthropic organization, MountaineerTHON, Shaw is extremely grateful for the amazing opportunities WVU has provided.

Shaw’s passions include motivating, leadership, displaying kindness and helping others. He has wanted to participate in TEDxWVU since hisfreshman year but has not had an “idea worth spreading” until this year. He is excited to have the opportunity to share his ideas and leave an impact on other individuals besides himself. This year's “Dig Deeper” theme has provided the perfect opportunity to become involved, as this theme is something Shaw has resonated with his entire life. In his free time, Shaw enjoys playing and watching sports such as football, basketball, hockey, golf and disc golf. He also enjoys outdoor activities, such as kayaking, fishing, camping and hiking.
