Thank you to our faculty and staff who've assisted in helping the students prepare for their events, and especially to our Chair, Alex Lancaster, for his support and encouragement.

Murray State College, in collaboration with Ardmore Little Theatre, presented "Nunsense" this past week. This hilarious musical was performed on Murray State's campus Tishomingo and at the Murray Event Center in Ardmore.

Cast included: Casey Jones, Kierra Hendricks, Alexia Ballard, Lisa Riggle, Summer Calaway, Joan Rushing Dewees, Lee Ann Harris, Danise Gallaway and Susan Pfau Yeager.

"Nunsense" is a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser.

Representatives from Murray State attended the HLC Conference to learn about accreditation, teaching and learning, and improvement of higher education. The theme this year is Learn-Lead-Luminate. 

They had a great time learning from the HLC and other institutions.
