WHY I SERVE LAURA MEDER (CLASS OF 1993) Laura Meder (Class of 1993) is a proud Eagle. Her connection with MSU led her to serve on the Alumni Association Board of Directors. Learn more about why Laura makes serving a priority.

WHY I VOLUNTEER

I have helped in a variety of capacities. I represented MSU at a local college fair and set up a display table and handed out information to high school students about Morehead. Over the years, I have brought prospective students to Morehead State for college visits. If there is a way to help, I will do my best to assist in any way possible.

WHAT MOTIVATES ME

I reconnected with MSU about 13 years ago. My school district was a part of a program called No Excuse University. The goal was to start talking about college in a fun way from the beginning of a child’s career. My classroom was looking to be adopted by a college, so I wrote letters to Morehead State. MSU adopted my classroom and started sending me pencils, bracelets, and eventually, t-shirts that my students wore every Monday. Next thing I knew, I was asked by Clyde James (Class of 1965) if I would be interested in serving on the Alumni Board. I am now serving my fourth term. I support my alma mater because they have supported me not just when I was in college but as an alum as well.

WHY I SERVE

Serving on the Alumni Board is an absolute privilege. It means that I have the opportunity to give my time and efforts to an organization and institution that gave me an incredible education and many wonderful experiences and opportunities. It means that I get to share information with upcoming and future Eagles. It means that I get to hear about the future of Morehead State University and to share this with anyone who will listen to me. It means that I get to come back to campus and share this with my friends and family. It means that I get to walk on campus and remember the wonderful memories of my time spent at MSU.

MSU Alumni Association Board of Directors

The board is a group of alumni volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to making their alma mater an even better place. Are you interested in serving? Scan the code and apply today!
