Family Weekend 2020: September 11- 13 Murray State University welcomes Active Minds Founder and Executive Director Alison Malmon for mental health keynote Murray State University hosted Active Minds Founder and Executive Director Alison Malmon for a mental health keynote at Family Weekend Sept. 21 in the Curris Center Theatre. Active Minds is the nation's leading nonprofit organization that supports student and young adult mental health. “I commend Murray State for sparking conversation about mental health and for their work to support students,” Malmon said. Malmon started the organization in 2003, just two years after her brother, Brian, ended his life after a battle with Active Minds Founder Alison Malmon schizoaffective disorder. Both were in college at the time. Brian concealed his symptoms from his friends and family for years; Malmon said she launched Active Minds to destigmatize the discussion around mental health and encourage those in pain to seek help. “It’s really hard for students to understand that stress impedes daily life,” Malmon said. “Even if it feels like typical college stress, you deserve support. Mental illness can be a scary thing because we don’t talk about it.” She encouraged all those in attendance to be more open with their thoughts and emotions, both for their own mental wellness and to better understand those closest to them. “Families play a large role in healthy discussions,” Malmon said. “Just talking to the person you’re closest with and telling them what you’re struggling with makes a big difference.” Peggy Whaley, director of student engagement and success, thanked Malmon for her valuable insight. “Alison Malmon's keynote address resonated with so many in attendance,” Whaley said. “We know mental health is critically important to the overall health and success of our students. It's imperative that the Racer Family start and change the conversations about mental health and wellness. The keynote address was one way to start and continue these important conversations."

However, if you are visiting campus during the weekend or evening hours some buildings may be locked. The starting point for the tour is the Curris Center and is open seven days a week, except during holiday breaks when the university is closed.

The number before the name of each building corresponds to the building numbers on the campus map. Let’s Get Started! 22 Curris Center (beginning of the tour) o Built in 1981. o The building is named after Dr. Constantine Curris, who was the president of the university at the time the Curris Center was built. o The building was built in five separate sections so that it could withstand a magnitude 5 earthquake and took 3 years to complete. o A student, David Mitchell, created the wooden benches and statues located on each floor. He made them by putting layers of plywood together with Elmer’s Glue, and then he cut out the designs with a chainsaw. FIRST FLOOR: o Offices for Undergraduate Recruitment, Admissions and Transfer Center o Sodexo (Dining Services) o TV Lounge o Study Areas o Computer Lab o Student Government Association o Greek Life o Marvin D.
