Herd Connections: Refer a Friend to Marshall University

Help Grow the Herd – Invite a Friend to Join Marshall!
How Will You Meet the Moment?

At Marshall University, we believe that the best advocates for our community are the people who know and love it most—our students, alumni, faculty, and staff! That’s why we’re excited to introduce Herd Connections, our Refer a Friend program designed to help prospective students find their place in the Herd with your help. Whether you’re a current student, proud alumnus, or dedicated faculty or staff member, you have the power to connect future members of the Thundering Herd to their next great opportunity.

How It Works

Step 1: Submit a Referral

Know someone who would make a great addition to the Herd? Complete our simple online Herd Connections Referral Form with:

  • Their name and contact information
  • A short note about why they’d be an excellent fit for Marshall University

Step 2: Personalized Outreach

Our admissions team will reach out to your referral, mentioning your note and offering some guidance on the application process.

Step 3: Celebrate Together!

If your referred friend is admitted and confirms their intent to enroll, you’ll both receive a special Marshall University swag item as a token of our appreciation!
