Marshall University is preparing to launch a new event for admitted students called Marshall Bound. The event will commence at 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, March 29, with check-in taking place at the Cam Henderson Center.

"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 agenda includes a welcome address from Marshall's President Brad D. Smith and academic preview sessions designed to introduce students to the faculty of their chosen academic college. Admitted students will have opportunities throughout the day to engage with campus resources such as campus safety, housing, financial aid, and academic advising.

Marshall Bound will also feature a Student Resource & Community Showcase aimed at helping incoming students familiarize themselves with on-campus resources and local businesses in the Huntington area. Students and guests can sign up for an orientation date, activate their MyMU account, fill out a housing application, and ask current students questions.

The event will conclude with students "walking the green carpet" in celebration of 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.
