Greetings from Morehead State University! We are excited to bring you the second issue of The Magazine. As you flip through these pages, we hope you will feel proud of all that is taking place at your alma mater. Our students are thriving, in large part thanks to the support of the Eagles who came before them. We are honored to have some of the highest university rankings in our 136-year history. The hard work of our faculty and staff, and the dedication of our students, makes Morehead State University a great place to learn. Our new $98 million science and engineering building is still pressing ahead. This state-of-the-art facility will further elevate our already esteemed programs. We’re educating the next generation of scientists, doctors, nurses, engineers and more – and this facility will represent that success. We’re also moving forward with some plans to renovate some of our existing residence halls – and even finalizing plans to construct a new one. We know our students are receiving a quality education and we want their residences to be of that same quality. As proud alumni and friends of MSU, we hope you will continue to spread the word about the great things happening here. A statement of pride from an alum is one of the best recruiting tools available. Please share the developments and alumni success stories you read in this publication with potential Eagles. We would be honored to host you on campus for a visit soon. Though some of the landscape may have changed, MSU is still the same home you know and love. Remember – Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle. We hope to see you soon. Cordially,
Dr. Joseph A. “Jay” Morgan President
