Murray State College Foundation

Hosts Fundraiser

The Murray State College Foundation hosted a "Farmhouse Fundraiser" to raise money for the Kindell Ag Work Ethic Scholarship. This scholarship is generally awarded to agriculture students; it allows them to work on the Murray State farm while attending school.

This year's recipients are:

Brody Vandagriff from Sulphur, Oklahoma

Cody Smith from Soper, Oklahoma

Dan Holley from Silo, Oklahoma

Jacob Thompson from Stringtown, Oklahoma

Lane Bell from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma

Walker Redman from Durant, Oklahoma

More than $20,000 was raised to help fund this scholarship.

Thank you to everyone for your generosity! It's always a blessing when we can help students go to college and succeed.

You can continue to support this scholarship with a gift to the MSC Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

Night on the Town

Murray State took to Main Street in downtown Tishomingo during Homecoming week. Local businesses stayed open late for everyone to enjoy a night of fun, discounted shopping and giving. A percentage of sales went to MSC scholarships.

Everyone enjoyed trying their hand at blackout bingo by playing water pong at participating businesses. Once their bingo cards were blacked out, they were placed in a drawing for a chance to win various prizes.

Night at the Ballpark

MSC Baptist College Ministry and the Johnston Marshall Baptist Association provided free hot dogs.

Both the youth and adult home run derby contests were the biggest "hit."

MSC Athletic Hall of Fame members Tom Turner and Alan Simpson were also recognized.

Lady Aggies Watch Party

Ardmore friends gathered at Mill Street Tavern to watch the Lady Aggies play via livestream.
