Marshall University President Dr. Stephen J. Kopp's response to Manchin’s announcement of $50 million endowment fund for
research at Marshall, WVU

“Governor Manchin’s announcement of a critically important legislative initiative to invest in research at Marshall and West Virginia University is a decisive step forward that promises future benefits for West Virginia families," Marshall President Dr. Stephen J. Kopp said. "Patterned after Kentucky’s highly successful ‘Bucks for Brains’ program, this matching fund program will make sensible investments in applied research that will help diversify our economy, stimulate new business ventures and produce new jobs.

"Growth in tax revenues will be an important dividend of the governor’s decision. According to this plan, every private dollar supporting research at WVU and Marshall University will be matched by a dollar from the state, doubling the impact of the state’s investment.

"On behalf of the students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the Board of Governors of Marshall University, I thank Governor Manchin for his visionary leadership and support of our two state research institutions. This investment will create opportunities that will influence the future of West Virginians in every corner of the Mountain State.”
