“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated and contributed to making this event a success,” said Calyb King, president of the Marshall medical school class of 2025. “This support means so much to our class as we prepare to graduate and transition to residency in the years ahead. Our scholarship back to the school will remain part of our legacy.”
