Hello alumni and friends, Summer is almost upon us and activities for Marshall alumni clubs will really kick into high gear. You will see lots of golf scrambles and summer outings planned. Please check our club web site to stay up on what clubs are doing in your area. We welcomed more than 3,000 new alumni into our ranks at graduation early this month and hope they will stay in touch with us and our club network wherever they go. I assured them that you, “the old alumni,” would be a network of help and resources for them out there in the cold cruel world of job searching. I also want to remind them and you that you have many benefits from the Alumni Association. You have permanent forwarding e-mail for life, access to the Marshall Drinko Library data bases for job research or whatever, and the great option to know other Marshall alumni in your area through our club network. Many of our clubs now work to earn scholarship money for area high school students who attend Marshall and help us recruit these students. For more about the benefits of being a member of the Alumni Association, please go to this page. New Alumni Association board members will be coming on board soon, and we said goodbye to some very faithful members who have given us six years of service. Bob Yost, Jack Trainer, Suzanne Dickens and Janis Winkfield were recognized at our last board meeting for their service and dedication. I hope they will consider running again next year to come back on the board and help with projects. Our homecoming committee is already gearing up for the events in the fall and plans are afoot for pre-game fun for the first ever MU/WVU game in Huntington on September 8. There will be a Friday night event at Pullman Square with live music and fun, so make plans now to attend and root for the Herd. There will be tailgate parties for away football games at Miami and other venues, so plan to join us at these away games. I hope your summer is busy and safe and full of Marshall!! As always, if you need to contact me, my e-mail address is sharonp71@aol.com.Sincerely,
Sharon Porter
