Pathway of Prominence
In recognition of lifetime gifts and pledges of $1,000,000 or more to Marshall University.
The Marshall University Pathway of Prominence was established to permanently recognize leadership gifts of $1 million or more to Marshall University.
Members are recognized and/or memorialized on a walkway located at the heart of the Marshall campus. Constructed of green marble, the pathway displays bronze plaques with each name or set of names. In addition to recognizing Marshall’s most generous donors, the Pathway serves to remind students, faculty, staff and visitors about the importance of philanthropy and continued support for growth of the University.
The Pathway of Prominence was unveiled on Friday, September 20, 2002, as part of the Campaign for National Prominence kickoff weekend.
