T hough the school year was coming to a close, Marshall University saw a burst of energy April 9 as the Marshall University Foundation and Office of Alumni Relations hosted two major events. Nearly 400 students and donors met in the Don Morris Room of the Memorial Student Center as scholarship recipients mingled with their donors dur ing the 2022 Scholarship Honor Brunch. Back after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Scholarship Honor Brunch attendees heard from Senior Airman Richard Tettey Tei-Wayo, who was the featured speaker, and President Brad D. Smith, as well as a special performance by 3rd Avenue, Marshall’s a cappella ensemble. Most importantly, scholarship recipients had the opportunity to express their gratitude to their donors for the impact their generosity has on them. Also returning after a pandemic-induced hiatus was the long-anticipated Alumni Association’s 83rd Annual Alumni Awards Banquet. The Brad D. Smith Foundation Hall bustled with activity as nearly 200 alumni, deans and other Marshall supporters gathered to honor remarkable members of the Marshall family, who included JeffMcKay, Cathy Burns,William Joseph Kehoe, Alys Smith and President Brad D.
