“In addition to celebrating their commitment to Marshall, students will also be able to participate in various informative sessions, as well as complete their next steps,” said Lisa Williamson, director of Orientation, Outreach, and Special Events at the university.
The day’s events include a welcome from Marshall’s President Brad D. Smith, followed by academic preview sessions, which will help students become acquainted with the faculty of their chosen academic college. Admitted students will also have the opportunity to meet with campus resources throughout the day, such as campus safety, housing, financial aid and academic advising.
In addition, Marshall Bound will feature a Student Resource & Community Showcase, which will help incoming students become familiar with on-campus resources, as well as local businesses in the Huntington area. Students and guests may also sign up for an orientation date, activate their MyMU account, fill out a housing application and ask current students questions.
The day’s events will cap off with students “walking the green carpet” to celebrate their acceptance to the university.
“It’s really a day to celebrate our newly admitted students,” said Phoebe Greco, special events coordinator at Marshall’s Office of Recruitment.
