Hello
Alumni and friends,
It's another
New Year and with it have come some changes in our Alumni
Association. Lance West, who has been with us for several years,
has taken a position in the Marshall University Foundation as
the major gifts officer and we wish him well.
Tish
Littlehales is now our new alumni director. She has moved in and
is ready to work with our Alumni Association clubs and the board
to promote Marshall University. She and I agree we must be ready
to help new clubs get started in key cities. As such, I think
she will be on the road a lot getting out to meet alumni and
visit existing clubs. We know we need to strengthen our club
network and personal visits are one way to help. I will also be
on the road some to help with this. So, when you call or come
into the Alumni Center, you’ll see a new face and you’ll want to
greet her and get to know her.
We are
continuing to work on our new home and hope to have news of our
groundbreaking date soon.
The
Association will be reaching out to students soon in a number of
ways, first by sponsoring student buses to the MU/WVU basketball
game in Charleston and by having booths at all the job fairs in
the spring. We found this really got our message out to students
last year and we’ll try to do another Spring Fling ice cream
social during dead week for them too.
Its an
exciting time for Marshall, all the world knows who we are now
with our movie, so be proud and tell everyone who you are !!!
Sincerely,

Sharon Porter
MUAA National President
