Fulks, currently the head coach of Marshall University women’s basketball, will then address the graduates and their families.

Before joining Marshall, Dr. Fulks served as the head coach of Lewis & Clark College and Transylvania University. Transylvania dominated Division III women’s basketball under the guidance of Fulks winning six straight HCAC Championships, six consecutive conference tournament championships, an Elite Eight, two Final Fours, and the 2023 NCAA Division III National Championship.
