MU Summer 2024
It is such an exciting time — an incredible collection of memorable moments — right now at Marshall. From the first pitch at Jack Cook Field to the groundbreaking ceremony of our state-of-the-art Institute for Cyber Security, we are seeing accomplishments that will serve the Herd family for generations.
Looking back over the past few months, a word repeatedly comes to my mind. Gratitude. I’m grateful for the students who adopt us as their home away from home — often bravely as the first in their families to go to college. I’m grateful for our faculty and staff — the heartbeat of our campus. These folks show up every day not just for a career but to a calling, dedicating time and talent to make a real difference in the lives of students.
And I also have gratitude for you. Whether you attended Marshall, have supported us financially or simply enjoy cheering for the Thundering Herd on game day, Marshall people are special people.
It’s my honor to serve you and Marshall University. I hope to see you around campus soon.
Go Herd!
Brad D. Smith, President
