Physics and Astronomy welcomes Directory of Development Star Murray

Howdy!

I'm so very excited to join Physics and Astronomy! My official duties as director of development began on March first and I'm eager to learn about and collaborate with our alumni.

My first career after attending Northern Michigan University was in pre-college and early-college programming. Getting to witness young students transition into young adults was life-changing for me.

There isn't quite another time in a person's life such as the time in undergrad or grad school. The academic and personal growth, away from parents and other familiar comforts, is exponential. The ability to watch that growth first-hand was remarkable. Although my career has taken me down a different path, the absolute best thing about this job is getting to hear alumni share their stories of that time in their life.

As I begin the amazing journey in Physics and Astronomy, I'd love to hear about your time in the dorms, in your labs, the best professors, the best place to grab a coffee and study, and how Purdue helped you grow as a person. I hope you are willing to share your story. I'm eager to listen. Feel free to email me any time at ssmurrary@prf.org.

Boiler Up!
