Longtime Chadron State College employee, Con Marshall will be honored for his service at 9:30 a.m., Saturday during a brunch in the Student Center Ballroom as a part of Con Marshall Day.

Marshall will receive the college’s Distinguished Service Award. Marshall was also recently inducted into the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Hall of Fame.

The Chadron State alumni office is sponsoring the event.

His name may sound familiar, as the press box at Elliott Field is named in his honor.

Marshall has received many distinctions throughout his career of writing and photography.

Marshall was inducted into the Nebraska High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and received the Chadron Basketball Tradition Award in 2004.

Marshall has been an influential part of the Chadron community ever since graduating CSC in 1963.

Marshall held a position at the Chadron Record, the Star Herald, and the Sidney Telegraph.  Marshall returned to Chadron State to work as the first full-time director of information.

“Con Marshall has been an ‘institution’ at Chadron State College and northwestern Nebraska for nearly 50 years,” said Karen Pope, director of development and alumni said.

Marshall currently resides in Chadron and continues his work as an information service officer at Chadron State. Video greetings and written congratulatory statements can be submitted to the Alumni Office, 1000 Main St, Chadron, NE 69337 or via email [email protected].
