Black History Month Student-Athlete Spotlight: David Marsh

Black History Month Student-Athlete Spotlight:  David Marsh

In honor of Black History Month, Wentworth is celebrating some of our notable black student-athletes who have made an impact in their respective sports and in the Wentworth community. Today we highlight senior David Marsh of the men's volleyball team.

Why Wentworth?

  • Wentworth graduates have a high chance of securing a job after graduation and provide an excellent co-op program to mold students. I wanted my time spent studying to be worth it after graduation, and to give myself a better chance of success in life.

Favorite snack?

  • Bun and Cheese (Jamaican classic) 

Your hype song?

  • XXX. by Kendrick Lamar 

Do you sing in the shower or in the car? Or both?

  • Most definitely in the shower

Is there a tradition, event or food you enjoy with family and/or friends to celebrate your heritage?

  • I try to visit my family in Jamaica and vacation for a weekend at least once a year. 

Any game day superstitions?

  • I do everything in doubles! Weirdly, I think it keeps me balanced. 

If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be?

  • I would have dinner with Ip Man, the Chinese martial artist. 

Could you share something about yourself you would like people to know?

  • I'm second cousins with Alia Atkinson, the Olympic Swimmer for Jamaica.
