Faculty Senate Chair Shawn Schulenberg & Ariel Barcenas - Study Abroad Student Support Fund

Dancing With the Herd is a fundraising event where famous Marshall couples will perform a choreographed routine while raising money for a student-based fund. We have partnered with the Marshall Contemporary Dance Company, and each couple has been paired with a team of student or faculty choreographers to bring their performance to life. During the event, a panel of judges will provide feedback and scores. The winners of The Marco Mirrorball Trophy will be determined using a rubric that weighs both the judges’ scores and the total amount of money raised. Your donation directly supports the participating couples and the student-focused causes they champion.

The event will take place on Thursday, December 4th, 2025. For additional information, please contact Piper Cook at cookpi@marshall.edu.
