Matt Markgraf, WKMS

The Department of Homeland Security has awarded a contract of $95,290 to Murray State University’s Telecommunications Systems Management. 

The program is tasked with developing precision timing requirements in the mobile communications sector. In a news release, TSM director Michael Ramage said the results "could impact our nation for decades to come."

The contract through the National Institute of Homeland Security is part of a larger DHS effort to understand how how infrastructure sectors depend on GPS for positioning, navigation and timing.

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.
