Murray State University 22 2013-2014 Fact Book STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES
Murray State University’s strategic imperatives are not intended to serve as specific goals; rather, they set the broad strategic direction for Murray State University—from which innovative ideas and activities will emerge from each campus unit.
Student Engagement Students are our clients and the reason we exist. Student engagement could include activities, events, and communications with future students, current students, and past students. Enhancements to the learning process, recruiting efforts, placement efforts, improved graduation and retention rates, improved advising procedures, updated and relevant offerings (on and off campus), improvements in scheduling, increased or improved or innovative services provided to students are all examples of student engagement and the accompanying desired results. Consider meaningful ways that you would appreciate being engaged as a student (a paying client with other available choices if needs are not met) at Murray State that lead to an excellent long-term relationship with your Alma Mater.
Financial/Operational Efficiency We are a public institution partially funded by taxpayer dollars as well as student, parent, and donor fees and contributions. We have a responsibility to be efficient, effective, and reportable to these groups in how we spend and allocate resources. All of us (employees of Murray State) should take pride in utilizing these resources to be the best possible and most efficient university that we can be. Goals in this area should propose ways to be better stewards of our resources in searching for improvements in delivering the services we provide.
Improved/Increased Communication Murray State University has approximately 1,500 employees (excluding adjuncts, temporaries and student workers) working in many different areas and reportable units across campus. Many changes occur on a daily basis which could cause difficulty in keeping all informed on a timely basis. We have both internal and external communications and sometimes all of us are not on the same page and provide different answers to various queries. Effective communications are essential in establishing who we are, what we do, what services are provided, who is responsible for particular areas, where do I go to seek resolutions to certain problems, and many other communication concerns. Our goals in this area must address ways to improve communications with all of our constituencies.

Illinois, Indiana, and Tennessee In-State Tuition
Students admitted for fall 2004 and thereafter from Massac County in Illinois; Posey, Vanderburgh, or Warrick Counties in Indiana; and Montgomery County in Tennesee were charged out-of-state tuition and given a tuition discount to adjust their tuition charge to the in-state tuition rates.
Regional Tuition Discount
Students from Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Tennessee (admitted from summer 2001 and thereafter); students from Ohio (admitted from fall 2010 and thereafter); and students from Alabama (admitted from fall 2011 and thereafter) were assessed out-of-state tuition. A tuition discount was credited for the difference between Murray State University’s out-of-state tuition and an average in-state rate, based on colleges from the student’s state of residency on record with Admissions Services. In order to receive the tuition discount in fall and spring semesters, undergraduate students must be full-time and pay for university housing. Seniors with full-time status are allowed to receive the discount and not live in university housing. Graduate students do not need to meet these requirements to receive the discount.

Murray State University 100 2013-2014 Fact Book MURRAY STATE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Murray State University Alumni Association was organized June 1, 1926, to provide an opportunity for graduates, former students, faculty, staff, and members of the governing board of the institution t coordinate their efforts on behalf of the University. A long held dream of the Alumni Association was realized in 2002 with the completion of the Sid Easley Alumni Center, located adjacent to Roy Stewart Stadium at the north entrance of the Murray State University campus. The facility serves as a central location for alumni to gather for meetings, receptions and other events when returning to their alma mater.
The Alumni Association serves the University by (a) awarding student scholarships; (b) recognizing outstanding faculty through Distinguished Professor, Distinguished Researcher and Emerging Scholar Awards; (c) recognizing outstanding alumni through Distinguished Alumnus Awards; (d) providing social, athletic and academic opportunities for alumni; (e) providing leadership and support for an alumni regional representatives network across the country; and (f) serving as a liaison between the University and its alumni constituency.
The Alumni Association established a scholarship program in 1941, awarding one scholarship in the amount of $100. The association now oversees 99 scholarships that provide awards of various amounts to nearly 200 deserving students each year.
Alumni programs and services are overseen by a board of governors. Specific projects and programs such as the annual Homecoming and Golden Years Class Reunion activities are carried out by the board with the assistance of other alumni volunteers and the Offices of Alumni Affairs and Development.
The Alumni Association has 35 regional representatives and continues to grow. Programs offered by the Alumni Association include an affinity credit card program, Liberty Mutual insurance partnership, group life and health insurance plans and a brick program offering personalized bricks that are permanently places in the patio area of the alumni center, of which proceeds support alumni programming. The Alumni Association provides all alumni a monthly e-newsletter that includes timely information about on- and off-campus alumni events and an on-line community to assist with re- connecting to former classmates.
Starting in fall 2013, the Alumni Association re-established the membership program for sustainability of the many programs for alumni engagement. The nominal fee associated with membership includes benefits associated with campus partnerships and local partnerships. In support of philanthropic efforts on campus and developing a more streamlined student to alumni connection the Alumni Association also established the Student Alumni Association. The Student Alumni Association supports the campus community in many of the same ways the Alumni Association does and also connects with the office of recruitment for school tours.
The Legacy Tuition Grant program an alumnus based student recruiting project coordinated with the Office of Recruitment where out-of-state undergraduate children and grandchildren are encouraged to attend Murray State University.
