Honors Faculty
Scott Morgan, Class of 2004
Assistant Professor of Psychology at Drew University
“Murray State's Honors program allowed me to work closely with professors and mentors and to interact regularly with likeminded but intellectually challenging peers. The program used the same model that I would later encounter in my Ph.D. training. In short, Honors at Murray laid the groundwork for my career.”
