The website e-CollegeFinder has named Marshall the most LGBT friendly higher education institution in West Virginia.
“We have worked tremendously hard over the past academic year to embrace students from all backgrounds, including our LGBT community of students,” said Maurice R. Cooley, associate vice president for intercultural affairs at Marshall. “Our new programs, which include the LGBT Speaker Series, Safe Zone, Lending Library, and more, offer new dimensions for our students. We are looking forward to another great year. Marshall is a great environment for all students to grow, learn, and gain acceptance from other, irrespective of our differences.”
