DC Chapter, Marshall University Alumni

It's already Back to School Season, and we're feeling nostalgic.

Remember Dan Hollis's whimsical Bubble Day? Remember the magical game when the Thundering Herd beat Notre Dame? Remember feeding one of the squirrels a fry? Or studying in the quiet of Morrow Library? Ahh, the memories.

Whether you graduated last year or 50 years ago, your experiences at Marshall helped shape who you are today. But what if we could give more students the opportunity to have those experiences? The Marshall For All scholarship initiative aims to help more students graduate debt-free by lowering the barrier for entry and funding their tuition.

And we want to help! In honor of Back to School Season, we ask everyone who values affordable, quality education to donate your graduation year, and contribute to the wellbeing of future Marshall students. Follow the donation link, change the custom amount to $20.26 or $20.01 or $19.63, and get us one step closer to a tuition-free campus. All donations over the next year will be matched, so please donate, comment, share, and help us get the word out!

Join us August 15th for our 1 year celebration! Last summer, a small band of DC-area Marshall alums decided to recharter our alumni chapter.

Since then, we've hosted the always popular football watch parties, some fun happy hours, volunteering events, and generally celebrated Marshall's successes with school leadership, current students, and other graduates. Now, let's celebrate you: our members, our followers, and all the supporters who make time in your schedule to show up. Bring your photos, your memories, and your kelly green!

Ted's Bulletin August 15th 4-6p

Behold! What happens when you install a bison statue on the National Mall? You get Marshall alumni swarming for photo ops. Thanks everyone who came out to do a silly thing and then hang out for a bit. We got the shot! 🦬

Unfortunately, we're missing Donna whose idea this was and Jeff who was thwarted by construction barriers. Please enjoy our skillful artist's rendering of their inclusion.

Reminder: Join us July 12th at the Natural History Museum for a Marshall alumni photo followed by a happy hour at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern.
