Reporters are encouraged to cover the speech - likely the last in Ripley prior to his retirement. Last August, Hardesty announced plans to retire in Sept. 2007. At that time, he will have served as the longest permanently appointed president at WVU. A search for Hardesty's replacement is currently under way.
