Marshall University, a public research university in Huntington, West Virginia, operates under dedicated ZIP code 25755 in Cabell County. Founded in 1837 as a subscription school, the institution was named after John Marshall, the fourth Chief Justice of the United States. Marshall has grown to become one of West Virginia's largest universities, offering programs through its colleges of Liberal Arts, Science, Business, Education, Fine Arts, Health Professions, and its Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine.
The university is indelibly marked by the tragedy of November 14, 1970, when Southern Airways Flight 932 crashed into a hillside near Huntington, killing all 75 people on board including 37 players, 8 coaches, and 25 boosters. The crash remains one of the deadliest sports-related tragedies in American history and profoundly shaped the university's identity. A memorial fountain on campus honors the victims, and a ceremony is held every November 14th. The 2006 film 'We Are Marshall' depicted the rebuilding of the football program under coach Jack Lengyel.
