Murphy Academic Support Center Dedicated

Fall/Winter 2014

TU dedicated The Murphy Academic Support Center in September. The center is an addition to the Pfeiffer Library located at the corner of Miami and Sandusky Streets.

Named in honor of TU Trustee Dr. Frank Murphy, who made the philanthropic gift to create the facility, the new building houses offices for tutors and success coaches to meet individually with students, a conference room for group tutorials and group study, and a classroom is used for seminars and workshops related to study skills, career development, and other academic support services, as well as for classes.

“Seeing your name on a building brings a good feeling,” said Frank Murphy at the dedication. “I have a commitment to this institution of higher learning,” he continued. “It is a great place to be and it continues to get better and better.”

“All of us at TU want to thank Frank Murphy for his vision and generous donation to make this center possible,” said TU President Paul Marion.
