Murray State University Presidential Search Committee

Murray State University students will weigh in on Wednesday on qualities they want to see in their next president. 

The Presidential Search Committee meets at 4:30 p.m. in the Curris Center Theatre.

The committee heard from faculty and staff earlier this month who said they want a president who understands the region and has roots with the university. Some faculty and staff expressed wanting the committee to consider women and minority candidates. Some expressed support for interim president Bob Jackson.

Jackson was appointed in early August following the departure of Bob Davies.

The search process will be set in the Board of Regents meeting on December 7.

Matt Markgraf joined the WKMS team as a student in January 2007. He's served in a variety of roles over the years: as News Director March 2016-September 2019 and previously as the New Media & Promotions Coordinator beginning in 2011. Prior to that, he was a graduate and undergraduate assistant. He is currently the host of the international music show Imported on Sunday nights at 10 p.m.
