Marshall University will honor Hal Greer with a statue in 2019.
President Jerry Gilbert has created a committee to focus on the state after he proposed the idea of a sculpture for a recognition of Hal Greer.
“The committee has sent out a call for proposal,” Gilbert said. “We had six people express interest and has been narrowed down to three individuals.”
The three final artists have not been named yet.
Don Van Horn, Dean of the College of Arts and Media said the competition was set up that each sculptor will present a proposed budget for the creation and delivery of a finished sculpture.
