HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) – Staff and students at Marshall University will be lending a hand to an organization that works to help fight addiction.
The university said in a news release that students and staff in the College of Health Professions will work on video projects next semester highlighting the mission of the Soul Searching for Recovery organization.
