Murray State College Attends 2023 Higher Education Legislative Tour

Colleges and universities in southeast Oklahoma, as well as area legislators and state regents gathered in Krebs, Oklahoma, to discuss higher education.

The group was introduced to Murray State student government students, staff and Board of Regents chair Suzie Brewster.

Chancellor Garrett discussed the 2023 funding request for the legislature and some highlights of the upcoming strategic plan from OSRHE.

Thank you!

I am proud of the quality and excellence of our legislators, students and staff who represented Murray at the event.

Everyone at our table that day made you feel like it was a great day to be an Aggie."
