Thank You!

"Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen and for the support along the way. The high school staff provided feedback that this was the best event they had attended at Murray State. This truly speaks to everyone's hard work and support.

However, none of this would've happened without Terri Greer's hard work, leadership, ideas and logistic efforts. I am truly thankful for her!
