Following a record-breaking level of generosity from donors across the country for the first part of the fiscal year, Murray State University’s Be Bold: Forever Blue & Gold Centennial Campaign has reached an unprecedented level of total gifts and new documented commitments, making it the most successful campaign in the history of the University. With total gifts and commitments now exceeding $77 million, the University is making excellent progress toward its goal of raising $100 million through this historic campaign. The excitement about Murray State University’s future as a result of the campaign’s success is palpable across the campus, from students to our President, Dr. Bob Jackson.
“As a student, it is so encouraging to hear about the incredible giving from our donors for the Be Bold: Forever Blue & Gold Centennial Campaign. These gifts are helping students right here, right now,” explains current president of the Murray State University Student Government Association and student regent, Ellie McGowan. “With each scholarship, every well-equipped facility and every resource made available, our potential is magnified. Thank you for investing in our education.”
