Marshall University: A leader in education, a giant in economic impact

One of Marshall’s latest feats, an app called Clio that was developed by history professor Dr. David Throw, received a $98,809 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to improve the software for those who are visually impaired.

Clio is a GPS-guided app that allows educators and cultural institutions to design mobile tours for exploring local history and culture, giving users information and photos and allowing them to hear interviews and experience walking tours detailing historic sites. The app features thousands of historic locations throughout the country.
