INTO Marshall will celebrate its grand opening at 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, at the INTO Center on Marshall University’s Huntington campus.
INTO officials will host tours of the facility as well as a reception following a ribbon cutting. INTO Marshall is located at East Hall, former home of the Marshall Community and Technical
College.
“This isn’t just the opening of a new building,” said Eric Fry, the INTO center director. “It is a transformative event placing Marshall University firmly on the world stage. Marshall graduates from West Virginia, the United States and across the globe will have the benefit of a degree from a university that is known far and wide and soon, our American and international students will have a global stage from which to share West Virginia’s beautiful quality of life and business-friendly atmosphere.”
