A Message From Mikala Shremshock Muaa

National President

Greetings fellow alumni,

With summer upon us, it is with a mix of both sadness and excitement that I share that my term as national president of the Marshall University Alumni Association is coming to an end. The past three years have been quite the journey, especially with the challenges brought on by the COVID pandemic. However, despite the obstacles we faced, I am proud of all that we have accomplished together as a board. And, through it all, I know that the incoming executive team will be well prepared to take the Alumni Association to new heights.

One of the things I am most proud of during my time as MUAA president is our expansion of chapters and overall involvement with our alumni. We have been able to establish new chapters in different cities and strengthen our relationships with existing ones. This has allowed us to engage with a more diverse population of alumni and share in some of their impressive accomplishments.

Additionally, I am proud of the new staff members and the great working relationships we have developed. These individuals have brought fresh perspectives and ideas that have helped us continue to grow and engage with our alumni community.

As a result of our efforts, we have seen a renewed interest in supporting scholarships and campus programs. Our alumni have shown a strong commitment to giving back and supporting the next generation of the Thundering Herd. This is a testament to the bond we all share and the love we have for our beloved university.

As I step aside from my role as president, I encourage all of you to become actively involved with the Marshall University Alumni Association. Whether it be through joining a chapter, attending events or making a contribution, your participation is essential to our continued success. I look forward to seeing how our association will continue to grow and prosper in the years to come.

Thank you for the privilege of serving as your alumni president. I will always be proud to be a part of the Marshall University family.

Sincerely,

Mikala Shremshock President, Marshall University Alumni Association
