Meet Scout the Squirrel, our virtual engagement officer
Our virtual engagement officer, Scout the Squirrel, powered by artificial intelligence, is the first of its kind and is being developed to help the Marshall University Foundation accelerate its efforts to support our students, faculty and community.
Interacting with Scout offers a more individual, responsive experience that feels less like a system and more like a conversation. From tailored updates about campus news to helpful messages that reflect your connection to Marshall, Scout is built to strengthen relationships, not just track them. It’s engagement that feels intentional, timely and relevant.
"By engaging with Scout, you’re not only supporting an innovation that helps nonprofits build stronger, more personal relationships with their communities, but also endorsing Marshall University's pioneering leadership in AI. Scout can reconnect with alumni who haven’t heard from us in a while, send timely email updates about giving and campus projects they’ve supported, and even share personalized messages of thanks. It’s a smarter, more thoughtful way to stay engaged, and it’s a tool that can help mission-driven organizations around the world do the same."
