&GOLD THE MAGAZINE FOR MURRAY STATE UNIVERSITY > Inside this issue: OCtObe r 2009 Dear Friends: As you open this edition of our magazine, you will notice a distinct change. That change is taking place all over our campuses as well. Some of you are aware that we have recently introduced a new brand for Murray State University. As part of this “re-branding” campaign you will see an updated and refreshed Murray State logo and tagline for new applications in our print, television and other advertising. Very soon, you will also notice exciting changes to our Murray State presence on the Internet. This branding process will help us communicate our message of unique excellence more consistently, credibly and effectively. For those of you who follow other colleges and universities, you know that branding efforts are now widespread across the nation among both public and private higher education institutions. As the competition for students and funding increases, it is important that we have a concise, tangible way to highlight our mission and everything that MSU has to offer. Corporations have known the power of a meaningful brand for years. This new branding was not something done in haste or without careful thought. We began this process last March by facilitating multiple focus groups to validate possible brand messages and — to a striking extent — participants voiced a consistent picture of Murray State University. These focus groups included many stakeholders and represented faculty, staff, administrators, current students and prospective students. The following themes came out powerfully from these groups: 1) special factors that attract individuals to Murray State, 2) highlights of the student experience, 3) aspects of the university that distinguish it from many others and engender pride in the process, 4) examples of great teaching and learning, 5) MSU’s vision and mission, and 6) examples of exciting programs and initiatives underway on the campuses. Following this work, our branding team gathered reactions to many possible logos and tagline options from members of the same groups. Finally, creative work was revised and refined in response to all of the feedback received. That work was circulated back to our internal branding team for feedback and final decisions. I want to take the opportunity here to thank the members of our team: Catherine Sivills (University Communications), Jim Carter (Institutional Advancement), Dr. Bonnie Higginson (Provost’s Office), Shawn Smee (Office of Recruitment), Dr. Brian Van Horn (Continuing Education), Bob Jackson (Development) and Josh Jacobs (President’s Office). Our new tagline, Your World to Explore, became a favorite among the groups and emerged as representative of what we want MSU students to experience when they engage with us. We wanted an “active” tagline that distilled our mission into a memorable statement and focused on the importance of a Murray State education as a life-changing enterprise — as it was for so many of you reading this magazine! With regard to our new mark, the ivied “Murray” mark used for general brand messaging will be replaced by the new shield motif — one that suggests the single most important brand message that we heard — academic quality. Because of the use of shields throughout our university’s history, this mark has built-in equity, or instant meaning, particularly for those who know Murray State University. Our traditional historical shield will remain for formal events, occasions and purposes. The Racer “M” will continue to be used for Athletics. The success of this new brand is dependent in part upon all of you as MSU alumni who act as our great ambassadors — not just for carrying the brand message forward but for telling the wonderful story about Murray State University. During this effort, we want to be good stewards of the tax, tuition and gift dollars that we are entrusted with. We are not pitching stock supplies (e.g., stationery, cards, signage, etc.) but, instead, we will use up existing stock and then replace it with the new mark and tagline as new orders are placed. The MSU Bookstore, though, is already in the process of ordering new “gear” that I’m sure many of you will want to have! Also in this issue, we officially invite you to participate in a venture of tremendous importance: Hold Thy Banner High: The Campaign for the Students of Murray State University. With an initial goal of $60 million, this campaign is the largest in our university’s history and has the potential to transform Murray State. This campaign will help us better serve our students … now and for the future. I am thrilled to be a part of what will be a record-setting campaign — confident in its success, certain of its impact, and grateful to our many thousands of loyal alumni and friends for the generosity I know they will show. Thank you all for your terrific support of Murray State University. As our alums, we want you to have even more to be proud about every time you think of your alma mater. Randy J.

Although MSU had been using alternative fuel in cars, trucks and equipment, the declaration represented a big stride with MSU becoming the first Kentucky university to join colleges around the globe in a commitment to becoming a better steward of the environment for the community, the state and the world.

An eco-enthusiast and former vice president of the earth-friendly fundraising organization Growkids, Martin is responsible for an upcoming Eco-Wellness Summit in Orlando, Fla., as well as marketing ShopToEarth seminars, company communications, leadership training, streamlining media tools for the network and more. “I am passionate about raising environmental awareness and educating people on how to live a healthy, sustainable lifestyle,” says Martin. Hillary Spain (B.S. 2004, M.S. 2007) is a team member with BioDimensions in Memphis, Tenn., a firm dedicated to helping farmers compete in the global economy by developing alternative crops as well as other projects. Recently, Spain met with a group of Dartmouth students about their Big Green Bus Project — their way of demonstrating the possibilities of biofuels in the U.S. The students collected restaurant grease along the way to fuel the bus. So, how does the future for biofuels look? “The potential is there for these crops,” Spain says. “There are some challenges and barriers … technologies have not been perfected, but research is underway.” Did you know? Racer Routes, a partnership between MSU and the city of Murray, offers free rides to MSU students, faculty and staff around campus and the town. Sustainability, safety and service — that’s what it’s all about. A very personal battle for General Graham Maj. Gen. Mark Graham, a 1977 (B.A.) Murray State University alumnus and 2008 MSU Distinguished Alumnus, is doing his best to make a difference in the world of American soldiers and their families, hoping that what happened to Graham and his wife, Carol, won’t happen to others. The Grahams lost both of their sons within an eight-month period. Younger son, Kevin, committed suicide in 2003 when he was a senior ROTC student at the University of Kentucky. Though Kevin suffered from depression, no one realized he was suicidal. In early 2004, older son, Jeffrey, died from a roadside bomb in Iraq. At that point, Mark thought seriously about leaving the Army, but decided to stay to help spread the message that getting treatment for depression is not a weakness, but a sign of strength. To make it okay in the Army to recognize mental illness. To save young men and women from the “other” enemy. It is Mark’s continued work to reduce the Army suicide rate that led to his nomination by United States Secretary of Defense Robert Gates for TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. “I feel humbled and honored that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates would consider me for something of this stature,” said Graham. “It is still beyond my comprehension that we have lost both of our amazing sons, but it gives me a renewed purpose to continue serving our great nation and our soldiers who are America’s sons and daughters,” says Graham. The commanding general at Fort Carson, Colo., Graham is responsible for more than 18,000 active duty soldiers and over 250,000 U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard members. Carol Shroat Graham is also a Murray State graduate (1976 B.A., 1977 M.S.). Mark and Carol have a daughter, Melanie. Sroda explores English across the Middle East English as a foreign language? To many in the world it is. But, Dr. Sue Sroda helps break down language barriers by traveling in the Middle East — Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Iraq and Saudi Arabia — to train educators there to teach English to their pupils. Sroda, a member of the English faculty at MSU, is an instructor in the university’s Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program. There’s no doubt she’s popular with her Middle Eastern students. In Saudi Arabia at the Princess Nora Bint Abdul Rahman University (the first university in that country for women only), her students not only wished the workshops were longer, but expressed a desire for “Dr. Sue” to teach full time at their school. “The experiences have always been fun for me,” Sroda says. “Teachers are teachers, no matter where you are and we join together to help students learn. The university (MSU) is always very supportive of these opportunities for faculty.” “Smiling” in The Gambia Pa Lamin Sarr (M.B.A. 2006), CEO of Smiling Coast Tours, is opening up his world, The Gambia on the west coast of Africa, to Americans. In July, 10 Americans began an adventure that embraced learning as a part of the experience through Sarr’s company. The travelers participated in lectures at the University of The Gambia, visited Cachically Crocodile Pool in Bakau and went on excursions to places of interest including the village of Juffureh, a former French-dominated slave trading post popularized by author Alex Haley when he traced his Roots back to this typical Mandinka settlement. 53 Exploring a Learning Commons A space that brings together the services needed for students to succeed academically E MSU Libraries Information. Where you are, we are. One of the most visited locations on campus, the libraries at Murray State are a vibrant component of campus life, demonstrated by last year’s record-breaking use. nvisioned for Murray State University’s library, Learning Commons are high-tech classrooms, written and oral communications assistance, computer technical support, and printing and copying services, but most of all, the creation of an atmosphere in which students feel comfortable engaging in learning activities. Today’s totally plugged in students — posting, linking, texting and tweeting — these students have never lived in a world without Internet and they consider emailing “snail mail.” MSU’s Waterfield Library understands the needs of an “information in an instant” generation and is committed to providing an environment in which students can flourish and explore the world. But, here are the facts. Learning is a collaborative effort with students being prepared to work in team-based and global environments. A recent college study indicates that 45 to 55 percent of student learning activities outside of the classroom take place in a university library’s group spots. A modern academic library should be an ideal place for both collaborative and solo learning. Recent fact-finding surveys at Murray State discovered that students understand the value of a library that meets their needs. More than 60 percent of students who visit the Waterfield Library for an hour or more say there is too little workspace for group study. Nearly three-quarters note that space for individual work is too limited as well. Additionally, a library should include high tech, modular classrooms that can be reconfigured and equipped to meet a variety of teaching needs. Waterfield Library, which began as the Student Union in 1959, cannot grow to accommodate the needs of today’s students and professors, and finds itself limited by structural, electrical and weight-bearing limitations. With only one 20-person classroom, numerous requests for classroom space cannot be met. The price of re-purposing the library to address these issues is cost-prohibitive. The solution is a new building. What can you do? You can show your support of a new library for Murray State in many ways. Contact Adam Murray, interim dean of university libraries ([email protected]) with letters of support. Or you can support the university libraries through monetary donations. Also, if you live in Kentucky, write your state legislator expressing your interest in a new library at Murray State.

Kate Hughes Reed and Palmer Kate’s a keeper Kate Hughes Reed (B.S. 2003) grew up on a farm with horses and beef cattle, but she’s graduated to more exotic animals now. She’s making her mark on the world as a keeper for ungulates — giraffes, zebras, antelopes, camels — at the St. Louis Zoo (Mo.). Reed spends her days watching over the animals, cleaning their habitats, feeding them and being ever-alert to any change in behavior that could signify stress or a possible illness. A college internship at the St. Louis Zoo opened the door to her career, Reed says. “It was, ‘Wow! This is it.’ Before that I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do.” Through her work, Reed recognizes a common misconception about zoos. “We aren’t here trying to breed new species. We are trying to preserve the animals that have been in this world a long time — those species the world has created.” And not just the animals in the zoo, she notes. They work with communities in Africa in areas that are the natural homes of many ungulates. “The program is aimed at not only saving those animals, but helping the communities,” Reed says. One such project is a school that was built specifically for girls in Africa. Currently, her zoo duties include bottle feeding baby gazelle, Palmer. His mom was a bit old for childrearing so the keepers are taking on the job of nourishment to make sure he survives. But, it’s all in a day’s work for Reed. Saving the world, one ungulate at a time.

M urray State student Katie DeCillo joined an estimated 1.8 million people in Washington, D.C., to become the eyes and ears of MSU during the celebration of President Barack Obama’s inauguration. DeCillo, a junior electronic media major from Murray, along with Shasta O’Neal, broadcast media specialist from Murray State’s Electronic Media Services office, took in the sights and sounds of the nation’s capitol, reporting on events as they happened. DeCillo and O’Neal blended the inauguration of the United States’ first African-American president with the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial and the birthday of President George Washington. The duo worked together to post daily video blogs featuring DeCillo and fed news stories back to local television stations. They attended the Kentucky on the Potomac party and the Bluegrass Ball, and made stops at the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument and the Inaugural Parade. Check out the D.C. duo online at www.youtube.com/ roundaboutudotcom#play/favorites. MSU kept it presidential with historian Richard Norton Smith giving the 2009 Presidential Lecture in Lovett Auditorium. Smith, who serves as the ABC News presidential historian, spoke on “A. Lincoln at 200: The Measure of All Presidents.” 57 S U C C E S S Murray State Athletics claimed the inaugural Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner’s (OVC) Cup for the 2008-09 school year. The Racers turned in first-place OVC finishes during the school year in women’s soccer, women’s basketball and women’s golf. MSU had second place finishes in women’s cross country, men’s golf and baseball. Nine MSU teams placed third place or higher. The award, previously divided into the Men’s and Women’s All-Sports trophies, is a symbol of overall athletic excellence in conferencesponsored championships. MSU gets top U.S.News 2010 America’s Best Colleges rankings for 19th consecutive year O nce again Murray State finds itself ranked among the top public universities in the nation. U.S.News & World Report’s 2010 edition of America’s Best Colleges, recognized MSU for the 19th consecutive year in the Best UniversitiesMaster’s South, which includes both private and public schools. This is the fifth consecutive year Murray State has ranked in the top 20. The newest rankings include Murray as seventh in the Top Public UniversityMaster’s/South division. The university has appeared in the top 10 of that category for the past several years. “This recognition allows us another accepted way to see how we measure up against national competition,” said Dr. Randy J. Dunn, president of Murray State University. “This ranking remains a point of pride for MSU and we know that it positions us next to other outstanding colleges and universities — which in turn requires us to continually improve our efforts toward excellence in teaching and learning.” Other recent honors include: • One of 150 Great Colleges to Work For® by The Chronicle of Higher Education. • A “Military Friendly School” by G.I.Jobs. • “Top 50 Best Buys in Online Business Schools” for its B.S. distance learning programs in business and telecommunications systems management by GetEducated.com. Leading Woman Junior agricultural education major, Kirby O’Donoghue, is eyeing elected office for the future. Her profile was raised by appearing on the cover of Kentucky’s “2009 Women’s Report” with former Gov. Martha Layne Collins and State Sen. Katie Stine. O’Donoghue was chosen as an example of an outstanding young female leader. Did you know? Murray State student Jordan James found success in the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) competition for bathroom design. Nearly 700 students from across the country submitted entries from NKBA-accredited schools. In a field that considers a design score in the 80s very good, James wowed the judges with a near-perfect 97. James, who is from Dawson Springs, Ky., graduated with a B.S. in May. The interior design program at MSU has 60-plus students enrolled. 8 Murray State alum designs Angels and Demons movie poster (Information contributed by Becca Owsley, The NewsEnterprise.) M Anglers Tippett and Campisano “This is a huge step toward my goal of establishing a career as a bass tournament pro.” – Kalem Tippett Angling for a title Murray State University slipped past the University of North Texas to win college bass fishing’s premier event to claim the 2009 BoatU.S. Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship. Catching the title in near perfect weather conditions, Murray State joins past champions North Carolina State (2006), Texas A&M University (2007) and University of Arkansas (2008) as winners of the event. “Murray State’s win is very impressive considering this is the largest field we’ve ever had. Over 140 teams from more than 70 schools registered this year. They’re going to be great champions and ambassadors for collegiate bass fishing,” says Wade Middleton, tournament director. The event was held at Lake Lewisville, Texas, with top collegiate bass anglers, sponsors and leading industry professionals in attendance. Murray’s Kalem Tippett and Vincent Campisano two-day total of 36.16 pounds won with less than a pound to spare. MSU will host the National Guard FLW College Fishing Central Division Regional Championship Oct. 31 – Nov. 2. Teams will be competing on Kentucky Lake for a top award of $50,000. urray State graduate and Elizabethtown, Ky., native Alex Griendling explored the worlds of angels, religious zealotry and secret organizations as the principal designer of the movie poster for Ron Howard’s film, Angels and Demons, which opened in theatres May 15. Before receiving his Alex Griendling standing at Sunset and Vine in Los Angeles in front of the Angels and Demons degree, Griendling had the opportunity movie poster he designed. to intern at Interlink Film Graphic Design in Los Angeles. During that time, he worked on a teaser poster for Death Sentence starring Kevin Bacon. Alex’s father, artist Rich Griendling, is beaming at his son’s success. “I’m very pleased to see his hard work at Murray State result in getting him his dream job right out of college, and I’m quite impressed by what he has accomplished on a professional level in such a short time,” Rich says. For Alex, the movie business has proven hectic and stressful, but a lot of fun. “I love movies but don’t have the skill to make them,” Griendling said. “Most times, posters and trailers are the first things people see from a new film, so while I might not be able to make movies, I can try to make them look good by designing a good first impression. “It’s always cool to work on a project that has a lot of hype and excitement surrounding it,” Griendling said. “This, along with the fact that movie greats like Brian Grazer, Tom Hanks and Ron Howard are all attached to the project, makes it exciting not just from a designer’s point of view, but also from a movie fan’s point of view.” 97 S P O R T S Making it in the pro world Finding worldly success The Murray State athletic program has a rich history of winning conference championships. That athletic success has led to 52 Racer student-athletes earning a spot on a professional team after their collegiate playing days were over. A total of 38 football players have played in the NFL, five men’s basketball players went on to the NBA, four women’s golfers have played professionally, the baseball team currently has four who have played and one who was drafted in 2009, and the women’s basketball team had their first player earn a spot on a preseason team in the WNBA. Some of the more recognizable names of Murray State players in the pros include Popeye Jones (MBB), Kirk Rueter (baseball), and Reggie Swinton (FB). The most recent Murray State students to go on to play professionally are Daniel Calhoun (St. Louis Cardinals), Ashley Hayes (the Connecticut Sun) and Nathan Williams (the UFL to play for New York). In the 1980s, the men’s tennis teams at Murray State dominated the Ohio Valley Conference, claiming the tournament championship from 1980 to 1989. Now, more than 25 years later, several members of those rosters are continuing to strive for success in their professional lives. Dr. Tomas Hult (1988-89) is currently the acting associate dean of Global Initiatives at Michigan State University. The two-time All-OVC honoree is also the director for the International Business Center, the executive director for the Academy of International Business, editor of the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, and a professor of marketing, international business and strategic management. Mats Ljungman (1980-83), a threetime All-OVC selection, has made a name for himself in the academic world. Ljungman is an associate professor of radiation oncology and environmental health sciences at the University of Michigan. He is in charge of the Ljungman Lab, which is currently working on four projects that focus on cellular responses by DNA-damaging agents. After Dr. Paul Austin (1986-87) left Murray State he went on to medical school at the University of Kentucky and now is a pediatric urology and fetal urology specialist at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. In August 2008, the three-time All-OVC selection was recognized as a “Best Doctor” by St. Louis Magazine. Austin has also been named a diplomate of the American Board of Urology, a distinction that has been bestowed on less than 150 practicing physicians in the U.S. Murray State basketball fans are invited to attend Racer Fan Jam, Thursday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. at the Regional Special Events Center to meet the Racer men’s and women’s teams.

It replaces the old Richmond building, named in honor of Murray State’s third president, which was constructed in 1960. The new Richmond is the second facility built that is specifically designed to support the residential college concept at Murray State. 10 12 Murray State University and Kentucky Educational Television (KET) frequently partner to present quality programming for both a Kentucky and a national audience. The university’s winter program, Holidays at Murray State, which is produced for KET has also been nationally syndicated. The most recent production to go nationwide as a result of the cooperation between MSU and KET is Night of Stars, featuring the internationally known bluegrass artists, the Kruger Brothers and the MSU Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Dennis Johnson. The concert was filmed and edited by the MSU electronic media services staff and distributed across the country through the National Educational Television Association. Following the June airings of Night of Stars, comments coming into The Kentucky Network validated the worth of the MSU-KET partnership. In passing some of the viewer comments on to MSU President Randy Dunn, Malcolm Wall, executive director of The Kentucky Network said, “This small sample is testament to a much larger universe of viewers who don’t take the time to call. Therefore, you can assume a very large, widely dispersed and enthusiastic viewership of the program MSU shares with KET. Murray State and KET can benefit when we partner …” “ To finally be able to take advantage of this great opportunity is a wonderful gift for the students. Did you know?

A major remodel is underway to make the store more appealing and useful for students and other visitors. For starters, students will remember depositing their backpacks in the cubbies as they entered the store. No more. Students can keep their things with them as they shop in the store. Customer service has been moved where the jewelry counter was for a more convenient location and the art and supply departments now flow together, making it easier and quicker for students to find the items they need. After 28 years, the store needed a facelift. It now has better lighting and is being organized into a more inviting place. The staff is eager for students and alumni to drop in and see the store’s makeover. ” MSU makes harmony in the Carnegie The MSU Concert Choir and members of the University Chorale will be singing in Carnegie Hall on Jan. 18, 2010.

The invitations represent a recognition by the greater choral music community of the excellence in teaching and performance that happens at Murray State every day,” Almquist says. 13 Q U A L I T Y These two fight disease wherever it lurks Two Murray State graduates are deep in the fight against diseases. States away from one another, they use their skills and knowledge to head off the bad stuff where they find it. Nicole Holtgrefe (B.A. psychology, 2001) is the director of preparedness and client services for the St. Louis (Mo.) area chapter of the American Red Cross. Since the whisperings of a possible swine flu (H1N1) pandemic started making the rounds earlier this year, Holtgrefe has been sharing her insights into preparing for and lessening the effects of the virus. Now that experts are saying an outbreak appears to be unavoidable, prevention efforts are being stepped up. Holtgrefe is ensuring that a flyer is making the rounds that explains what a pandemic is, the differences between the seasonal flu and H1N1, and proactive steps to take to reduce the spread of pandemic flu. She has blogged and spoken with media about a possible pandemic and what people can do to protect themselves. Holtgrefe also has an M.A. in sociology from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. Melissa Graves (B.I.S. natural science, 2007/M.S. agriculture, 2008) is aiding in the diagnosis of Montana’s plant problems in the Schutter Diagnostic Lab at Montana State University as a part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) team. Graves, one of the newest members of the team, works in weed identification and has experience in both plant identification and teaching. The team uses IPM practices in county demonstration plot and monitoring to predict disease, and works to improve weed, insect and disease management for Montana producers and homeowners. Graves works with the owners of rangeland, cropland and homes to not only identify plants, but to quickly spot invasive species that need to be stopped. Ever aware of the environment, Graves notes that the IPM team explores all available options before making a recommendation. The team’s preference, she notes, is not to use herbicide if anything else will work to control unwanted plants. Graves is beginning work on a Ph.D. in weed science at Montana. Making it through Kentucky’s “Ice Age” WKMS, Murray State’s National Public Radio station, has been recognized as the source of accurate, up-todate information for western Kentucky during the state’s history-making ice storm in January 2009. Staffers shared information on shelters and power outages as well as the availability of gasoline, bottled water, kerosene heaters and more with listeners, becoming the voice in the storm. The university’s website also functioned as an information source, keeping students’ parents in the loop on services being offered for students. Murray State’s new state-of-the-art university public safety office became the hub of emergency operations for the school, the city and Calloway County. Murray’s role in the aftermath of the storm was publicly recognized by Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear during a visit to the WKMS studios. 12 14 BVC receives funding for facility study MSU’s Breathitt Veterinary Center (BVC) in Hopkinsville, Ky., received $300,000 in state funds for a feasibility study to analyze the effects of replacing or renovating the center. The grant was given through the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board, which is chaired by Gov. Steve Beshear. “I am committed to creating opportunities that will make Kentucky’s agricultural community stronger,” Beshear says. “Projects funded by the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board, such as this one, play an integral role in achieving this goal.” The funds awarded will support a feasibility study to consider the construction of a new facility versus renovation of the existing facility to allow the center to meet its mission in a safe, secure environment. Additionally, U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) recently announced a $95,000 grant for the BVC to purchase state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and expand testing capability there. The first priority of the Breathitt Veterinary Center is to provide rapid, accurate diagnostic data that enables veterinarians to make appropriate treatment decisions, thereby assisting in the reduction of suffering by animals, preserving and expanding animal production industries, and training animal health technologists. Center for TSM “Best in the Nation” again The Center for Telecommunications Systems Management at Murray State continued to demonstrate its nationally recognized quality by earning the Best Graduate Program Award for its Program of Distinction for the third consecutive year from the International Telecommunications Education and Research Association. The program also has a leading role in three projects through the Department of Homeland Security. • Incident Management and Decision Support System (two years/$1.1 million) – The project will deliver a web-enabled software suite to collect, share and process data and events as they occur, providing situation awareness at the local emergency management and incident management levels. • Portable Community Infrastructure Resiliency System (one year/$100,000) – This system consists of a compact, lightweight power converter equipped with a communications and control hub that can be rapidly deployed in response to a crisis in the nation’s electrical energy infrastructure. • Incident Management and Decision Support System-Health (two years/$1.7 million) This will add the functionality required to collect, process and visualize public health information and use it to aid in planning an effective response to potential medical and public health emergencies. Did you know? Murray State will be one of three host campuses for the Kentucky Governor’s Scholars Program (GSP) for the next three years. High school juniors apply for GSP, competing with others from across the state for a select number of slots. The students chosen attend the program free during the summer before their senior year. Hosting GSP means that approximately 400 of Kentucky’s highest achieving students will spend five weeks on Murray State’s campus. Murray State will also continue to host its own successful Commonwealth Honors Academy, which is open to students from Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. For additional information on the Governor’s Scholars Program go online at www.kygsp.org. Information on Murray State’s Commonwealth Honors Academy can be found at www.murraystate.edu/cha. 15 TE A C H I N G a n d L E A R N I N G A world of humans and machines Eli Hooten envisions a world of humanmachine teaming in disaster relief and other emergency situations. A 2009 graduate of Murray State, Hooten has teamed his smarts, hard work and vision for his selection out of 2,000 applicants for a prestigious National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship. A mere 10 percent gets chosen by numerous big-name entities — the Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force, Army and Navy among them. … but I feel that you can dig a little deeper at MSU, really discover a wealth of “ opportunity available to any student who is willing to work hard and look in the right places. ” Distinguished Principal Stephanie Sullivan, principal of Graves County (Ky.) Central Elementary School, has been named Kentucky’s 2009 National Distinguished Principal. Sullivan holds a bachelor’s degree (’90), a master’s degree (’94) and specialist certification from MSU. The award is presented in Washington, D.C., by the National Association of Elementary School Principals and the U.S. Department of Education. 16 Hooten, an engineering physics and math major at Murray, is now at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., working on a Ph.D. in computer science with a $31,000 per year stipend. “I feel the future will bring the need for human beings to develop more complex machinery to help us complete tasks,” Hooten says. “Whether these tasks are on a small scale, such as assistance in the home, or a grand scale, like space exploration and emergency response, human beings will Health Matters at MSU Dr. Roger Weis, director of American Humanics at MSU has designed a program that allows faculty members to incorporate healthy lifestyle tips for students into their classes. After two years of pilot testing, student and faculty response is overwhelmingly positive. Health Matters for Students includes brief health education presentations that focus on subjects such as substance abuse, depression, nutrition and weight continue to develop machines to assist them.” Bicentennial Man? Well, maybe not that yet, but Hooten believes that as machines get smarter and more capable, it will be necessary to pursue methods that facilitate efficient and reliable interactions between man and machine. “Murray State offered me a great deal of opportunities throughout my time there,” Hooten notes. “I think that is what I appreciate most about it. Murray is a small campus … not a Harvard or MIT … but I feel that you can dig a little deeper at MSU, really discover a wealth of opportunity available to any student who is willing to work hard and look in the right places.” He values his Murray opportunities. “Some projects I participated in, such as the Moonbuggy, went on to compete and perform admirably at national competitions,” he says. “I cannot overstate the importance of these kinds of experiences at MSU.” Eli Hooten (’09) management, and other core concepts related to health and wellness. Health Matters for Students has also found an audience among college campuses across the United States. The program is being distributed by MSU through a grant from the Kellogg Foundation, with plans to extend it to even more campuses in 2010. Clicking through the world Increasing business exposure, building relationships and creating an incredible opportunity to be responsive to clients and markets now requires a knowledge of social media. Now students at Murray State have the opportunity to enroll in a class taught by Dr. Glynn Mangold that brings marketing and social media together. In a world where Facebook and MySpace rule, Mangold is keeping students at the forefront of technology. His students participate by working on interactive assignments such as the development of a promotional plan for an existing organization, and creating podcasts, YouTube videos, team reports and more for a hands-on learning experience. College of business faculty Dr. Fred Miller, Dr. Timothy Johnston, Dr. Terry Holmes, Sam McNeely, Dr. Joy Roach and Dr. Brenda Sheets collaborate with Mangold in the creation of the social media classroom platform.

Since many kids don’t seek help or know where to go, Geschke spends much of his time combing the Bend, Ore., area for homeless youths and trying to build enough trust to bring them into a shelter. One of the most important aspects of working with homeless kids is building their self-esteem, Geschke said. “That’s the hardest part for them, to realize that they can do it on their own … I always just tell them the same thing, ‘When I was your age, if someone had told me I was getting a college degree, I would have laughed at them.’” Geschke did graduate from college – a B.S. from Murray State University in 1971. “I just got caught up in this thing,” Geschke said of his work. “It feels good, so I do it.” Courtesy of Hillary Borrud, The Bulletin To read the rest of Chuck Geschke’s story, go online at www.murraystate. edu/pr/magazine. Real genius Dr. Joy L. Navan, professor of educational studies, leadership and counseling at Murray State, met 14-year-old University of Kentucky graduate Kelsey Ladt in 2000. Vicki and Ric Ladt of Paducah, Ky., contacted Navan at MSU’s Center for Gifted Studies when Kelsey was just five years old. Through the center, Navan worked with Kelsey, who is profoundly gifted, her parents and her schools to develop an educational plan. The youngster had earned a community college associate degree by the time she was 11. Currently, Kelsey is an intern in research at the National Institute of Health. She plans to work there for two years before starting her Ph.D. Did you know? Three Murray State faculty members were recognized by the Louisville (Ky.) Defender as African-American Achievers as a part of Black History in America. They are Dr. Donald Adongo, assistant professor, mathematics and statistics; Dr. Brian Clardy, assistant professor, history; and Dr. Debbie Owens, associate professor, journalism and mass communications. Dr. Donald Adongo Dr. Brian Clardy Dr. Debbie Owens 17 To our alumni and friends: T his is an exciting time in the life of Murray State University as we prepare to launch the most ambitious comprehensive campaign in the history of MSU – Hold Thy Banner High: The Campaign for the Students of Murray State University. This campaign with a goal of $60 million will allow us to fund exciting new programs and initiatives, but most importantly, nearly 50 percent of this campaign goal will go toward student academic scholarships and scholarships to assist with study abroad opportunities. As state appropriated funding declines, it is now vitally important that we ask our alumni and friends for additional support as we continue to advance this great institution. This university has met every challenge ever placed in front of it and I know we will meet this new challenge, too. In addition, the university welcomes gifts in all sizes and forms – from those made outright, to gifts that are payable over several years, and more complicated donations such as real estate and gifts earmarked as a part of estate planning. Please call us – we can help you find the most tax advantageous way to make a gift, large or small, and assist you in your own way to leave a lasting mark on this great institution. Lastly, as one alumnus paraphrased the Bible when speaking to our commitment to MSU, “We are reaping from vines we did not tend, sitting in the shade of trees we did not plant. Now the burden is on us to prepare for those who are coming after us.” Again, thank you for all that you do for Murray State University. Bob Jackson Associate Vice President and Campaign Director 270.809.3033 [email protected] 18 16 G I V I N G BB&T $1 Million gift BB&T Foundation has made a $1 million commitment to Murray State University. The gift, payable over 10 years, will fund the BB&T Center for Free Enterprise and Organizational Democracy in the college of business and public affairs. The gift from BB&T will be used to support faculty research and student scholarship, including an annual student research competition and graduate research assistantships. The BB&T Center also will host a bi-annual Speaker Series, which aims to bring influential business leaders from around the world to Murray to address issues related to the national and international economy. The first lecture is planned for 2010. “We believe there needs to be a deeper understanding of the morality of capitalism and its causal relationship to economic wellbeing,” said BB&T Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John A. Allison. “Our contribution will help Murray State University provide students a hands-on perspective on capitalism and free markets, a better understanding of our economy and an enhanced ability to make meaningful contributions to the world.“ Hutson Scholarship established The Dan C. Hutson II Scholarship has been established at Murray State University by a generous gift from Cindy Hutson and the Hutson Company and matching money through the university’s “Bucks for Brains” program. This $200,000 fund will provide scholarships for students from farming-related backgrounds to further their educations at MSU in agriculture, business or other approved majors. They are available to qualified residents in all 18 counties of MSU’s service region in Kentucky and Montgomery, Stewart and Robertson counties in Tennessee. Dan C. Hutson II was one of MSU’s most successful business school graduates. He owned and managed several multi-state agribusinesses over a 30-year career. He started his first business, Hutson’s Ag Service Inc., while still a student at MSU. In addition, he successfully managed a third-generation family business, Hutson Chemical Company Inc. and founded Hutson Company, which at the time of his death was the fourth largest John Deere agency in the United States. PHOTOS? Dedication at science complex in September T he newly completed Jesse D. Jones Hall, which houses chemistry, was dedicated on Sept. 16. The building features a science library and computer lab named for Jones’ late grandmother Hattie Mayme Ross. A 1964 MSU alumnus, Jones and his wife, Deborah, of Baton Rouge, La., have pledged $500,000 to establish a scholarship endowment in the college of science, engineering and technology (CSET) in addition to almost $57,000 for the science library. These gifts will be matched through the Commonwealth University Excellence Trust Fund Endowment Matching Funds Program “Bucks for Brains.” A Marshall County, Ky., native and retired Albemarle Corp. executive, Jones was the major contributor of the Jesse L. Jones Family Clock Tower in the new MSU science complex, named for his late father. Since 2005, he has given and pledged more than $3.6 million dedicated to scholarships, faculty awards and the clock tower construction to the Murray State CSET. Through Jones’ recent endowment in support of the Murray State CSET, the Jesse D. Jones Scholars Program in the CSET has emerged. The largest scholarship endowment in the CSET to date, this program will complement the MSU Program of Distinction- Telecommunications Systems Management, the Dr. Hugh L. & Mrs. Hontas K. Houston Endowed Professorship, the Anna S. Brown & Ruth B. Logan Endowed Chair in Pre-Medicine, and the Dr. Alfred Wolfson Center for Environmental Studies and Research and Endowed Chair. Jones continues to work with MSU President Randy Dunn and the MSU office of development with ongoing projects Did you know? Over 30 years ago, the building that would become Waterfield Library was renovated from a student center. During all those years, gate counts of the building have been recorded, but these figures culminated in a single record-breaking day: 3,165 visitors passed through Waterfield Library on September 9, 2009. Such use demonstrates the need for a new library to provide the level of services appropriate for a modern academic library, including a “Learning Commons” to bring together the services students need to succeed academically. To learn more about the new library or existing library services, visit http://lib.murraystate.edu or become a fan of the University Libraries on Facebook. and planned gifts. “Mr. Jones’ vision for the college of science, engineering and technology is coming to life,” says Dunn. “With the addition of Jesse D. Jones Hall, the Hattie Mayme Ross Science Library and the Jones Scholars Program, our students will have a number of wonderful new advantages to prepare them for success in the sciences and beyond.” Porter gift for MSU libraries The recently dedicated Lana Garner Porter and Dr. Michael Porter Coffee Lounge and Wireless Computer Lab is opening up the world for MSU students at Waterfield Library. The Porters, both Murray State alumni, have made gifts designated for the MSU Libraries for the past several years. They believe libraries are the cornerstone of any education and credit Murray State as a critical contributor to their own professional success. Lana, a 2002 Murray State Distinguished Alumnus recipient, is a member of the MSU Foundation board of trustees. She holds a B.S. (1965) and M.A.T. (1972) from Murray. Michael earned his B.S. (1964) and M.S. (1969) at MSU. A graduate of Salem Community High School, Lana has established a scholarship fund through Salem Community’s foundation named for her parents Marion and Belva Garner to provide a scholarship for a female Salem Community student. 17 19 G I V I N G Science Complex Cox named the Logan Endowed Chair in Pre-Medicine Endowment gift from Tom and Jo Logan Dr. Tom Logan of Midwest Ear, Nose & Throat Surgery in Evansville, Ind., and his wife, Jo, have established the Anna S. Brown and Ruth B. Logan Endowed Chair in Pre-Medicine at MSU. Dr Ricky Cox, in the MSU department of chemistry, is the first professor to be named to the position. The endowment is named for Dr. and Mrs. Logan’s mothers. Tom is a 1961 MSU alumnus; Jo is a 1962 MSU alumna. “I am both humbled and thrilled to be named the Anna S. Brown and Ruth B.

He has published numerous papers with his research students in the areas of protein biochemistry and antibiotic resistance. Cox received a Regents Award for Teaching Excellence and was named the Outstanding College or University Teacher by the Kentucky Academy of Science. He was selected for the Dr. Karl F. Hussung Outstanding Professor in Chemistry Award in 2008. Logan is a member of the MSU board of trustees and is a 1987 MSU Distinguished Alumnus recipient. “Murray State was very good to Jo and me,” says Logan. “We believe in giving back, and feel indebted to MSU. This university has produced many great physicians in our area who have contributed a great deal to medicine.” The Logans chose to honor their mothers for the sacrifices both ladies made for them to attend Murray State. Logan adds, “There is no such thing as a self-made man.” 18 20 The first annual Taste of the Arts Dinner and Auction Murray State’s college of humanities and fine arts raised $15,000 for student scholarships with its first Taste of the Arts Dinner and Auction. Guests were treated to student performances, delectable dining and an amazing selection of items for bid. Bidders were vying for gift baskets, student art, and certificates and merchandise from local vendors in a silent auction, while live auction items included vacations, works from well-known artists and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to be an MSU basketball coach or band leader. work “toBythedonating department’s art auction, I felt as though I contributed to the scholarship program to help other art students. ” Auction organizers were grateful for the alumni support of the event and particularly grateful to Don Kennedy who not only gave two pieces of beautiful art to the auction, but also three paintings for display across campus. Printmaking student David Honaker said, “The scholarship helped make it possible for me to buy art materials and gave me some freedom to not worry so much about expenses.” Shannon Eberts, a painting student, who benefited from the scholarship like Honaker, also likes to give back. “By donating work to the department’s art auction, I felt as though I contributed to the scholarship program to help other art students.” Plans for a 2010 auction are underway. The Campaign for the Students of Murray State University Dr. Howell Clark devoted most of his professional life to the university as a professor of chemistry and has continued to give of himself in retirement. He and his wife have established the Howell and Rebecca Clark Chemistry Scholarship. Pictured with the Clarks are two award recipients — Brooke Kieffner-Elrod, a 2007 graduate who is now pursuing a high school chemistry teaching career, and Corey Read, a 2009 graduate who has begun graduate study in chemistry at the University of South Carolina.

Poem reprinted with the permission of Steve Vest, editor and publisher of Kentucky Monthly, where it originally appeared in the August 2009, and a participant in the M.F.A. creative writing program (non-fiction) as well. > Dr. Jim Davis – A professor who loves teaching too much to retire, Davis impresses his students with his unorthodox methods. Students appreciate how available he is to them outside of the classroom and fondly remember his eccentricities such as his complete shunning of electronics, opting instead to clip reminder notes to his shirt or tie. 35 Murray State University NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION U.S. POSTAGE PAID PERMIT NO. 59 LOUISVILLE, KY 40232 106 Development Center Murray, KY 42071-3313 Change Service Requested “Alma Mater,” written by Dean A. B. Austin and sung for the first time in chapel by Professor Price Doyle, was unanimously adopted by the students as the official college song on Friday, Oct. 7, 1932. It was sung the next day for the first time on the athletic field by the students at the football game with the team of the University of Louisville. Incidentally, the Thoroughbreds won that game by the largest score in the history of this college – Murray 105, University of Louisville 0. From the first, it has been the custom for the audience to stand in respectful reverence while the alma mater is being sung. Honor to Dean Austin for writing this inspiring song! His memory will be cherished as long as this college is in existence. ~ Recollections of Murray State College by John Wesley Carr 36
