Much of what I do in life is, and always has been, rooted in family, West Virginia and leaving this world a bit better than I found it. With this in mind, I am humbly honored to share that Alys and I have officially gifted $50 million to Marshall University. Our intent is to offer our students, professors, faculty and the West Virginia community the resources needed to receive a high-caliber education and college experience. I’m not sure it’s possible to be more passionate about expanding access to education – something I see as a great equalizer in opportunity. From my childhood in Kenova to my time in Silicon Valley, I have taken a service-first mindset to heart and will continue to live like it! I am unspeakably grateful for the opportunity to give back to an institution I care so deeply about and as always, am looking forward to the bright future of Marshall University. https://lnkd.in/e44ji8wQ
You such an amazing inspiration to us all. Thank you!
You truly are one of the best human beings.
Inspired (but not surprised!) by your gift, your love for your family/community and your leadership Brad D. Smith. Well done! Thank you for continuing to role model what “right” looks like.
Marshall Forever!!💚
So totally AWESOME Brad D. Smith 👏👏👏#EdUp
Amazing what you’ve accomplished and the positive impact you’ve made and continued to make. Funny I got an invite to a 30th anniversary 9 Entin Rd reunion yesterday and happen to think of you walking past my next door office all day… then I saw this. Proud of what you’re doing…good works bring good karma
Grateful to attend a university with such a wonderful leader. Your dedication to this area is well recognized by all of us here at Marshall! 😊
Brad- this is amazing! Always humble, thankful, and generous and with a smile = success!
