New MU President Jerry Gilbert Welcomes Marshall Community

HUNTINGTON – Dr. Jerome A. “Jerry” Gilbert has arrived and taken his position as the new President of Marshall University.

He recently shared a “welcome” to the Marshall University community by email, and Herd Insider now shares his thoughts as the new leader of our University in this unedited letter to all who attend, work for, cheer for or stand for Marshall University:

Dear Marshall University community,

What an honor it is to have been asked to lead this vibrant university. It is difficult to express the overwhelming excitement Leigh and I feel as we start to become part of Marshall and the Huntington community.
