President Kopp’s Passing a Tremendous Loss

House Speaker Tim Miley today expressed deepest condolences to the family of Marshall University President Dr. Stephen Kopp, as well as to the university faculty and students.

“My wife Susan and I are saddened to hear about the untimely passing of Marshall University President Dr. Stephen Kopp,” Speaker Miley said. “I've met him on several occasions and he seemed like such a kind and sincere individual. He certainly was a tremendous asset to not just Marshall but to the entire state of West Virginia.”

Miley noted that Dr. Kopp was one of the longest serving presidents of Marshall, and led the university through an unprecedented time of academic growth and achievement.

“Dr. Kopp is widely admired for his leadership and his insight as both an educator and manager,” Miley said. “He will be sorely missed.”
