What is Access Bars?

Access Bars is a gentle, energy-based therapy that involves lightly touching 32 points on your head. The “bars” are connected to different areas of your life and can hold onto limiting thoughts and emotions. Through gentle touch, Access Bars works to clear these blocks, allowing you to experience greater mental clarity and emotional freedom.

Celebrating First Gen
2025-05-06 17:00 - 19:00 | Advanced Technology Center, 500 Galliher Drive, Fairmont, WV, 26554, United States
The First Generation Student Organization invites you to a special event to celebrate our graduating First Generation Champions and welcome new members! Whether you’re a first-generation student or simply interested in learning more, we encourage you to join us.
Being a first-generation student means your parents or guardians did not complete a college or university degree (even if your siblings have, you’re still first-gen!). You bring a unique perspective and resilience to the college experience, and we want to celebrate that!
RSVP for the event. We look forward to seeing you there!

Learn About Our Accreditors

Pierpont Community, you are invited to an important campus event that will help you better understand the role of institutional accreditation and how it directly impacts you and your education at Pierpont.
We’re hosting two sessions titled: Learn About Our Accreditors – Who Are They and Why Are They Coming
At these sessions, we’ll introduce the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) — Pierpont’s institutional accreditor — and explain why their upcoming visit in Fall 2025 matters. You’ll gain insight into how accreditation works, what it means for your academic experience, and how students play a vital role in the process.
You may attend either location:

📍 Clarksburg Location
Wednesday, May 7 | 11 a.m.
Gaston Caperton Center, Room 148
501 W. Main Street, Clarksburg, WV

📍 Fairmont Location
Thursday, May 8 | 2 p.m.
Advanced Technology Center, Room 216A
500 Galliher Drive, Fairmont, WV

Both sessions are open to all students, faculty, and staff. Your participation is encouraged!
If you’d like to learn more in advance, you can visit our accreditation page.
We look forward to seeing you there!
