Students:
Welcome to Murray State University!
I am pleased to officially welcome you to Murray State University for the start of the Fall 2020 Semester.
When I first came to Murray State as an undergraduate student, I immediately connected with the attractive campus and warm, friendly atmosphere of this great University. Much has changed at Murray State since I was a student, but the core values of our University have remained the same. Murray State continues to thrive on a beautiful, historic campus where students engage in a rich legacy of academic excellence provided by world-class faculty and staff in a caring, family-like atmosphere. As the 14th President of Murray State University and a proud alumnus, it is my sincere hope that every student will take the time to enjoy the multitude of opportunities our University has to offer.
Students, I hope you take full advantage of all the opportunities provided to you during your time at Murray State – from the Student Government Association and Residential College Association to Greek Life, to Racer Band, to athletics – or one of the other 180 campus organizations.
Murray State is an exceptional University and will provide you with many opportunities to learn and create a pathway in order to reach your goals. If you are a traditional first-time freshman, or transferring from a community college or another university or a non-traditional student, Murray State has developed programs and structures to meet your needs. We pride ourselves on focusing on our students to help ensure their success. Please be sure to take advantage of all these opportunities.
Let’s make it a great semester!
GO RACERS!
Bob Jackson, Ed.D. President
