Alumni memberships
*Recent graduates have a one-time discount for the first year if joining within 12 months of graduation. ** Dependents must be 18 or older to sponsor a guest.
The alumni rate is available to Marshall University graduates who are members of the Alumni Association. In order to provide a positive recreational/fitness experience for all, this membership group is capped and may not be available in the future. Renewals will be prioritized according to the first date of membership should restrictions become necessary. Spouses/significant others/dependents of alumni may purchase a membership at a matching rate. They must satisfy two of the following criteria - proof of joint financial responsibility, same last name, marriage license or same residence along with verifying documentation. An additional feature is a special gift package which will be provided to the Herd Hundred, the first 100 members to join the Rec Center. For information and/or to join, contact Sharon Stanton at (304) 696-2943 or Stanton@marshall.edu.
The facility is scheduled to open in February 2009. Membership is restricted to students, faculty, staff, alumni and other affiliated groups with a direct relationship to the university. The Rec Center will be the largest employer of students on campus and serve as an educational laboratory for students studying in the fields of recreation, exercise science, physical education, business and other majors. More than 200 students have applied for positions and the Campus Recreation staff are busy interviewing potential student employees who best fit the philosophy of first class service in meeting the recreational and fitness needs of Rec Center members. “The Marshall Recreation Center is the culmination of a dream of Marshall students to complement their educational endeavors with a first class facility for recreation and fitness," David Stewart, director of Campus Recreation, said. "It will be a social hub that will provide many positive memories of college life and also educate the students on the values of adopting a healthy lifestyle. For alumni, the opportunity will be further enhanced to continue to be fit, practice a healthy lifestyle and be a part of the very special Marshall experience in a local venue that will be second to none in the state of West Virginia. It will be a source of pride for everyone associated with Marshall.”
