On November 4, 2002 the Clarksburg Exponent-Telegram reported that "at West Virginia Wesleyan this week, seven monks from the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in Tibet visited the campus to share their culture. The monks are touring North American colleges to talk about their religious beliefs and practices. The tour is an effort to get people to better understand their traditions. Tonight the monks will be in full traditional costume for a monastic sacred dance called the Cham. It is the final event for the monks at the college."
