A letter from the president and CEO of the Marshall University Foundation
Dear Marshall Alumni,
July offers something we don’t often have during the academic year — an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re headed.
As a new fiscal year begins, I’m grateful for the momentum our Marshall family has created together. While we continue counting gifts postmarked on or before June 30, preliminary results show more than $35.1 million in philanthropic support during the past year, including a record 945 new donors. Those numbers represent more than dollars — they represent confidence in Marshall’s mission and belief in the potential of our students.
Now our attention turns to the year ahead. Across campus, faculty and staff are preparing to welcome students back in just a few weeks. At the Foundation, we’re focused on building upon that momentum by strengthening relationships with alumni and friends, growing philanthropic support, and advancing the priorities that will help Marshall thrive for generations to come.
No matter where life has taken you since graduation, you remain an important part of Marshall’s story. Thank you for representing our university so well and for helping ensure today’s students have opportunities that will shape their own futures.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer, and Staci and I look forward to seeing many of you during the coming year.
And as always…Go Herd!
All my best,
Nico
