Congratulations to the Class of 2020!
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Marshall University has made the difficult decision to cancel the commencement ceremony scheduled for August 8th. We are now planning to honor the Class of 2020 at the Winter Commencement in December tentatively to be held at the Mountain Health Arena in downtown Huntington.
Help us say congratulations to our graduates on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using #MarshallGrad2020!

Class of 2020 Coins
Four years ago, President Gilbert gifted the Marshall University Class of 2020 with a class coin during Week of Welcome. At the end of Freshman Convocation, President Gilbert challenged you to complete your degree in four years and to bring your coin when you cross the stage during your graduation ceremony. You are the very first class to celebrate with a commemorative coin and so we ask if you still have your coin, please bring it to commencement. Please note, the University does not have additional coins for those who may have lost them.
