More than 300 students expected for open house
Saturday at Marshall University

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – More than 300 students, most of them high school seniors, have registered to participate in an open house Saturday, Nov. 7 at Marshall University’s Huntington campus.

Beth Wolfe, director of recruitment at Marshall, said check-in begins at 8:30 a.m. in the Memorial Student Center, and the program begins at 9 a.m. in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center’s playhouse and Booth Experimental Theatre.

Wolfe said students are coming from 16 states, including New Mexico.

“Open House allows us to showcase the best part of Marshall University, our people,” Wolfe said. “Prospective students will meet our students, staff, faculty, even our president. It’s a great way for them to see if Marshall is the place where they want to live and learn for the next four years.”
