1837 Minutes for Marshall

1837 Minutes for Marshall is a 30-hour fundraising event in April for all members of the Marshall University community. Alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, and friends of the university are invited to join Marshall’s Day of Giving! The goal is to raise critical funding and engage our community to advance the mission of Marshall.

Your support will make Marshall Day of Giving a success. Sign up to be an Ambassador. Make sure to tell your friends about this fun and inspiring day for the Herd to make a difference by posting about Marshall Day of Giving — with the hashtag #MarshallUDayOfGiving — on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. On Marshall Day of Giving, participate in our social media challenges to help spread the word.

As our world continues to face great challenges, your support of Marshall students and faculty means more than ever. You provide scholarships for students who will help a world in crisis and ensure that a Marshall education remains accessible for all qualified students. You fund resources that allow us to seize new opportunities, overcome unexpected hardships and extend learning beyond the classroom into virtual spaces. You fuel research and innovation, including cross-disciplinary collaborations that address the medical, societal and interpersonal effects of the pandemic. You help our students reach their full potential and prepare them to be the next generation of leaders in businesses, organizations and communities across the globe.
