As we celebrate our Centennial, I want to thank you for all you do for Murray State University.

Through your generous support, our students receive needed scholarships that allow for once-in-a-lifetime leadership development opportunities, participation in research studies and global educational experiences through study abroad. Our students are learning from top faculty who are experts in their fields and using state-of-the-art equipment and technology - preparing them for their future careers. Our students are succeeding in the classroom and in our athletics programs. They are resilient, passionate and dedicated to learning. Our students have a sense of belonging and have found a home within our Racer family.

All of these positive outcomes are possible because of your inspiration to make an impact.

For 100 years, Murray State students have been provided a collaborative, opportunity-rich living and learning community that fosters personal growth and professional success through a high-quality college experience…all possible with the help of donors like you. Thank you for all you do – every day and every year.
