UPDATE 3/29/10
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- "This is a kinda home away from home for alumni."

That's according to Ron Area, chief executive officer of the Marshall University Foundation.

"What's unique about this floor is it symbolizes Marshall and the four words that represent Marshall -- pride, integrity, diversity and respect," he says.

Marshall University continues to raise funds to finish paying for
The Marshall University Foundation Hall and the home of the Erickson Alumni Center.

Naming rights are available for as little as $50. For more information, call 304-696-3420.

They should try a Discount Card Fundraiser to raise money.

This building actually looks really nice and I'm glad it was paid for from private donations (they've been working on this for YEARS). What I hate is the rec center, because they make EVERY student pay a membership fee regardless of whether they will be using the facility or not. This includes those who are handicapped and those who commute long distances.
