• If you are running late or need to cancel your Marshall Group Visit, please contact Phoebe Greco at grecop@marshall.edu or 304-696-2354.

• Marshall University prides itself on its warm and welcoming environment. Please help us honor this by remaining respectful of all faculty, staff, students, and campus facilities during your Marshall Group Visit and all associated activities. This includes, but is not limited to, keeping voices low while in academic or study buildings, walking through spaces and not running, staying with the group and not wandering off alone, etc.

• Chaperones assigned to each group are expected to enforce appropriate conduct with their students.

• If you are registering a group for a visit but will not be present, please provide contact information for the primary chaperone attending the event in the registration form to ensure your visit meets expectations.
