Hello alumni
and friends,
We have some
big things coming up at Marshall for you. April 20th,
and 21st is Marshall Alumni Weekend. The events are
open to ALL alumni and friends. On that Friday, my board will
meet for our final meeting under my term as president, and do
elections and business. Friday night is a reception for the grand
classes [all those graduating before 1957] and the 1957 class.
They are our 50 year reunion class.
Saturday
starts with some informational workshops for graduates on giving
and estate planning. Then we have our class luncheon honoring
50-year and grand class members. It's really a lot of fun to
meet and greet all these alumni.
The Green &
White football game is in the afternoon at 3 p.m. and our Alumni
Awards banquet is that Saturday evening. At the banquet, we
award our Alumni Club of the year, and recognize alumni for
outstanding service to the university, to their community and in
their profession. Past award winners have included J. Mark
McVey, Troy Brown, Dr. Skip Turner, Jim Gibson,
Verna Gibson, and Jeff Porter, to name a few.
Several
scholarship winners are recognized and some lucky faculty member
is chosen for the Carolyn Hunter Award.
This is
always a wonderful, classy evening and I hope you’ll all want to
join us. Hope to see you there.
As always, if
you need to contact me, my e-mail address is

Sincerely,

Sharon Porter
MUAA National President
