Marshall Bound provides admitted students with an opportunity to experience campus life, connect with faculty and staff and complete important enrollment steps before the fall semester.
Marshall Bound is an exclusive admitted-student event that celebrates students’ achievements while helping them prepare for life at Marshall. Throughout the day, students will participate in academic preview sessions, campus tours and informational sessions that introduce them to resources such as housing, financial aid and academic advising.
Students will also have the opportunity to meet faculty from their academic colleges, interact with current students and explore the Campus Showcase, where university departments, student services and local businesses highlight the many opportunities available to Marshall students.
“This event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and welcome the Class of 2030,” said Lisa Williamson, director of orientation, outreach and special events at Marshall. “We have planned a full day of engaging experiences that allow students to feel connected from the moment they arrive.”
Throughout the day, students and their families can explore campus, tour residence halls, connect with key support offices and complete next steps such as registering for orientation, activating their myMU accounts and applying for housing.
Parents will hear from a panel of current students as they reflect on the moments that shaped their college experience.
The celebration concludes with a signature Marshall Bound moment as students “walk the green carpet” to mark their acceptance and future with the Herd.
“From walking the green carpet and capturing a keepsake photo to attending a major-specific class and meeting with financial aid and housing staff, students gain valuable insight into campus life,” Williamson said.
