Residential Colleges Through the Residential College system, Murray State of fers students a way of collegiate life that leads to individual and team success. In 1998, MSU decided to transform its housing com plex (dormi to ries) into separate col leg es where stu dents who share the same majors or edu ca tion al pursuits share the entire colle giate experience. In essence, Murray State not only made a transfor ma tion, it sepa rat ed itself from other higher edu ca tion insti tu tions. From the moment students enroll at Murray State, they become a part of their own resi den tial college within the uni ver si ty. It means be long ing.

Backing up its commitment to ensure that Racer student-athletes have every op- portunity to excel in the classroom as well as on the athletic fi elds, Murray State athletics established a state-of-the-art academic cen- ter. Named in honor of longtime supporters Jan and Dick Weaver, who provided funding for the building of the center, the Weaver Ac- ademic Enhancement Center was opened at Roy Stewart Stadium on June 30, 1997, and immediately began to pay dividends in the MSU athletics program. Today, the Weaver Center is a spacious facility equipped with individual and group study areas, but the centerpiece of the Weaver Center is its computer lab. In the summer of 2007, the lab was out- fi tted with 15 new desktop computers. Student-athletes can use the computers to access the internet for research and to complete class projects and papers. MSU student-athletes also use the Weaver Center for study hall, which meets throughout the day. During study hall, student-athletes have access to tutors, study groups and computers. The center continues to play a key role in the academic success of MSU student-athletes. For the 2006-07 academic year, 60 percent of all student athletes had a 3.0 or higher grade point average and 24 percent earned Dean’s List (3.5 GPA or higher) recognition. The Weaver Center is under the direction of John Osting, who oversees the computer lab and offers support to students on computer usage. The center is open 12 hours a day, six days a week during the school year, with an abbreviated schedule during the summer and holidays.
