What does it mean to “Live Murray”?
To “Live Murray” is to eat, stay and shop on Murray State University’s campus. When your student purchases a meal on campus, lives in one of the residential colleges or does business with the University Store, he or she will not only receive quality service and products, but is also investing money back into the university.
Every dollar spent on campus through Dining Services, Housing & Residence Life and the University Store stays within the university to enhance and provide additional services and programs for your student. In essence, every dollar spent goes back to the student body.
The University Store, Dining Services and Housing & Residence Life are all auxiliary units, meaning money is earned from user fees and purchases. The fees are not only used to pay for the services, such as food, residence hall upkeep, and University Store textbooks and merchandise, but also for student scholarships ($77,000 from the University Store, over $800,000 in housing scholarships), student employment opportunities, assistance to university clubs and organizations, and to keep residential college housing increases as low as possible.
So when students support these university operations, they are providing resources that will enhance campus life and offer more opportunities for engagement. Join the “Live Murray” movement and support student services through your student’s decisions about where to dine, shop or live while at Murray State University.
