WISE -- The University of Virginia's College at Wise has entered into a new partnership with FanWord, one of the leading AI technology and storytelling companies in college sports. Through this collaboration, UVA Wise will integrate FanWord Assist into its communications strategy to enhance storytelling via AI, enabling a more dynamic and engaging portrayal of its athletic programs. FanWord Assist helps generate game recaps, feature stories, and player bios more efficiently, empowering UVA Wise to tell compelling stories with consistency and speed.

"One of our strategic pillars is to use technology to enhance operational efficiencies. FanWord aligns with this goal as it will assist in expediting game recaps to support our staff and best meet the expectations of our audiences," said UVA Wise Director of Athletics Kendall Rainey. " We are excited about the opportunity FanWord brings to expand content highlighting the achievements of our Highland Cavaliers and providing timely and exciting updates and information to our fans."

FanWord works with more than 125+ athletic organizations across all levels. UVA Wise joins a rapidly-growing network of NCAA Division II institutions, including South Atlantic Conference member Newberry College, as well as regional partners like Fairmont State and UNC Pembroke. The Cavaliers also join fellow Virginia programs Liberty University and William & Mary, both of which use FanWord to strengthen their storytelling efforts.

"We look forward to this partnership and help them showcase the incredible stories within their programs," said Chris Aumueller, CEO of FanWord. "Our goal is to make it easier than ever for their staff to create content that connects with fans, recruits, and the broader community, and we can't wait to see what the team at UVA Wise produces with our platform."

In today's digital-focused environment where consistent and timely storytelling is key for engagement, recruiting, and alumni relations, UVA Wise's adoption of FanWord Assist represents a forward-thinking investment in efficiency and impact. The Cavaliers field 17 varsity programs that inspire pride throughout Southwest Virginia. With FanWord Assist, UVA Wise will be able to tell more stories, more quickly, while keeping a consistent voice across platforms.
