Back to school @murraystateuniv events, meetings, picnics, and progress this past week everywhere you look across campus. Let’s keep the Racer Momentum going! #RacerFamily

A bustling Quad in the heart of campus as we welcomed back students for their first day of classes on a beautiful day today. What’s your “Why?” Talking with our students while headed to meetings, and days and images like today. Here’s to a great fall semester. #RacerFamily

Great Welcome Week with Explore Murray and the Fall Sports Fan Fest today @murraystateuniv! #GoRacers

[Dr. Ron Patterson @PresMurrayState]

Big THANK YOU to Wal-Mart for welcoming our students back to Murray State University. We are truly grateful for our community for their strong support of Murray State!

Our family enjoyed welcoming @murraystateuniv students at campus move-in today, including Bailey, a graduate student studying economic analytics in our 4+1 program. Keep going, Bailey! So nice to have our students back. #RacerFamily

We loved the grit, teamwork and effort from @RacersSoccer today! Catherine had a blast — and she got to say hi to her favorite player, too! #WeAreRacers

[Shawn Touney @stouney_12]

Great to have our @murraystateuniv students back on campus. Enjoyed assisting with move-in with my sidekick, Matthew. Thank you to @RacersSoccer for spending some time with our kiddos tonight!

@BradBiggs I’ll never forget his first @IndianaFootball game my freshman year at IU. He accounted for 6 touchdowns. I can’t think of another athlete who competed in three sports for a major athletics program! Baseball, football and basketball while a Hoosier. Incredible.

We received a treasure trove of photos mailed from the son of a @murraystateuniv student in the 1920’s. Photos include Lovett Auditorium, Quad, founder/President Rainey T. Wells, and a unique view from Wells Hall looking toward what appears to be a barn in the distance. Wow!

Thank you to my parents for their support Saturday at the Illinois Marathon, especially having them near the end still with some road to hoe before the finish. Special sharing that day and weekend with them!

Our Leadership Murray class had a great visit to Frankfort, learning about Kentucky’s state capitol and seeing the passing of House Bill 400 as progress continues toward a new School of Veterinary Medicine at Murray State. Thank you to everyone who advocates for our region!

We had a great Ag Day for our Leadership Murray class. I enjoyed learning more about the technological advances, spray drones and digital solutions to assist farmers, as well as the history of farming in this area. Thank you to everyone who planned and provided the day for us!

[Shawn Touney @stouney_12]

Thank you to Charley Allen-Dunn, who leads our web management area and has been at the forefront of leading and guiding our @murraystateuniv digital marketing strategy. The data tells the story – you’re knocking it out of the park. 👏Thank you Charley! #RacerProud
