I am delighted and honored to be selected to serve as
president of the Morehead State University Alumni
Association.
The University has provided a wonderful education
for all of us; one that enhanced our ability to succeed in
both our personal and professional endeavors. The
value of an MSU education remains true today as the
academic profile of the entering freshman class
continues to improve each year. This bodes well for the
University and for those future alumni as they enter an ever competitive,
global workplace.
I believe in our alma mater, and I believe in what it has stood for during its
119-year history. In fact, this year we are celebrating our 40th year as a
University. I am proud of the many great accomplishments that have been
made and look forward to seeing what the future holds for Morehead State.
Our University is growing at an unbelievable pace, and we very much want you
to be a part of that.
I hope you will make an effort to come back to campus and take a stroll or
schedule a tour. Check in with our Alumni Office when planning a trip to
MSU and be our guest at an event. If you cannot find time to visit in person,
you are always just a click away from MSU at www.moreheadstate.edu.
It is more important than ever for our alumni to support MSU. Annual gifts
from alumni and friends are critical to ensure a sound future for the University.
I hope you will join me by pledging financially and by volunteering support to
MSU.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to meet many proud MSU graduates.
Together we can encourage the students of today to be alumni of an institution
that aspires to be the top public university in the South-Morehead State.
Sincerely,

The master's level sport management
degree program at MSU has received notice
of accreditation from the Sport
Management Program Review Council
(SMPRC), an independent council of the
North American Society for Sport
Management (NASSM) and the National
Association for Sport and Physical
Education (NASPE).
Morehead State becomes one of only two
Kentucky universities that have been awarded NASSM/NASPE approval of both its
undergraduate and graduate programs. This
is the first time that the master’s program
has received this distinction, which will continue through 2013.
“We are thrilled that our master’s level
sport management program has been
approved by NASPE/NASSM,” said
Dr. Lynne E. Fitzgerald, chair of the
Department of Health, Physical Education
and Sport Sciences (HPS). “Drs. Julia Ann

Master of Arts degree
available at MSU Jackson
For those interested in continuing their
education, Morehead State University will
offer its Master of Arts in Adult and Higher
Education degree at MSU at Jackson.
Beginning with the fall semester, students
may pursue the master’s degree option at the
Jackson campus. One class will be offered
face-to-face each term, with an opportunity
for students to register for additional courses on the Internet.
MSU’s adult and higher education graduate program is designed to develop the
capacity of individuals to plan, organize and
carry through a variety of education and
service programs to meet adult learners’
needs in postsecondary and adult continuing education institutions. The program is
flexible in that students may plan their programs for preparation in teaching, administration, student personnel or developmental
studies.
The option is geared to those individuals
who need credentialing in their work, said
Dr. James B. Canipe, assistant professor of
education. “This will be a good alternative
for those who do program planning, work in
adult learning centers and institutions of
higher learning,” he said.
“The greatest asset is that the program is
blendable—it will fit with a variety of others—and students can enroll on a full or
part-time basis depending on their area of
specialization. It will be compatible with an
adult-learning venue.
“Completion of the offering could lead to
the specialist in education degree,”
Dr. Canipe added.

MSU ranked in top tier by U.S.News & World Report
MSU has been recognized for the third consecutive year as one
of the top public universities in the South in the 2007 edition of
"America's Best Colleges" by U.S.News & World Report.
"We are proud to again be recognized as a top tier public university by this well known college guide," said MSU President Wayne
D. Andrews. “This is yet another measure of the quality education
offered at Morehead State.”
Last year’s freshman class had the highest average ACT composite score in the University’s history. This summer, MSU was host
to nearly 400 of Kentucky’s top high school seniors participating in
the Governor’s Scholars Program.
The five-year acceptance rate of MSU students to medicallyrelated professional schools has risen to 81 percent, far exceeding
state and national averages. In the fall of 2005, 13 MSU students
applied for pharmacy school and all 13 were accepted.
U.S.News notes MSU offers 50
percent of classes with less than 20
students, which earned a third place
ranking among top tier public universities on that key factor of student success. Only 3 percent of
MSU classes have 50 or more students.
The magazine shows 88 percent
of MSU faculty members are fulltime, a number surpassed by only
four other listed public institutions.
MSU was founded in 1887 as a private college, became a public
institution in 1922, and gained university status in 1966.

COVER STORY
MSU’s Success in Science
and Technology
Dr. Brandy Bromagen Fouch began serving families in the Powell County area at
Red River Health Care in August.
The success of so many Morehead State alumni from the College of
Science and Technology is no coincidence. The faculty and staff of the
College are committed to providing academic excellence in the classroom
and laboratory through innovative, inquiry-based teaching strategies that
enhance student learning. The fact that MSU students are accepted into professional schools at rates above state and national averages demonstrates
this commitment.
Why such a high success rate from a university drawing its students from
one of the poorest sections of the Commonwealth? Contributions to these
successes include:
• a reputation built in East Kentucky communities based on many
years of student and alumni successes;
• a high expectation of the students by the departmental faculty;
• a caring advising system from knowledgeable faculty who are
experienced in a specialized pre-professional field;
Brandy Bromagen Fouch, M.D. (99)
knew what she wanted to do when she first
set foot on campus and was unwavering
from that point forward.
“We knew she was going to be a success
from the very beginning,” said Dr. David
Magrane, chair of MSU’s Department of
Biological and Environmental Sciences.
While there was never a question of her
ability, Dr. Magrane likes to point out that
she also had “the personality that is so
important to go far in medicine.”
A professor of biology, Dr. Magrane
taught Brandy in two classes during her
studies at MSU.

• a reputation among professional schools that MSU applicants
have the character and background (both academic and experiencial) to become successful professionals;
• the fact that all core program courses and most electives have an
associated lab (labs have been eliminated at many larger
universities.)
While MSU has a rich tradition of preparing doctors, dentists, and veterinarians from all over the world, evaluation of student successes indicate
that most of our pre-professional students come from what has been historically considered MSU's primary service region in East Kentucky. It is apparent we are meeting our mission of service to the region and beyond by
preparing many of the physicians that serve rural areas of Kentucky that
so critically need dedicated, compassionate medical professionals.
Brandy is quick to return praise. “Dr.
Magrane is an unbelievable teacher. You can
go from not knowing anything about the
topic to fully understanding it.”
“The classes at MSU are very challenging
in the science area. The professors are good
at teaching you to be self-motivated and
study on your own, which is core to medical
school. MSU makes for a good transition.
They teach you how to learn.”
The personality Dr. Magrane mentioned
is readily evident when Brandy is interacting with her patients. Dr. Fouch patted gently on a 3 year-old’s head while speaking to
her and listened intently as the patient
pointed out how the doctor’s top matched
the polka dots in the young girl’s skirt.
After leaving MSU, Brandy attended the
University of Louisville School of Medicine.
In Louisville, she completed her pediatric
residency at the University of Louisville and
Kosair's Children’s Hospital.
During her residency, Brandy was actively involved in advocacy efforts on behalf of
children. Her class supported the graduated
driver’s license law, which restricts young
drivers’ privileges. “It’s surprising how accessible legislators are,” said Brandy. She also
worked to advocate for required booster
seats and stronger sexual abuse laws.

MSU, UK & St. Claire partner for $24.5 million health, education & research facility
The health education and research center envisioned by MSU and St. Claire Regional
Medical Center moved from a good idea to a $24.5 million reality as the highest
priority project in Kentucky’s postsecondary education system in 2006. MSU received
$1.5 million in planning funds in 2005 and another $23 million this year for construction.
A health sciences facility in Morehead will become a reality
thanks to $24.5 million in state funding awarded by the General
Assembly in 2005 and 2006 to a partnership of Morehead State
University (MSU), the University of Kentucky (UK) and St. Claire
Regional Medical Center (SCR).
The collaborative capital construction project, a regional Center
for Health, Education and Research, will be located across Second
Street from St. Claire's existing facility.
The facility will house MSU’s departments of nursing and imaging sciences, UK’s physician assistant and family nurse practitioner
programs, in addition to a freestanding primary care clinic, and
comprehensive health education center.
“We are very pleased to have this opportunity to work together
to provide improved health care services to the people of this
region,” said Mark J. Neff, president/CEO of St. Claire Regional
Medical Center, and Dr. Wayne D. Andrews, MSU president, in a
joint announcement. “This is a wonderful undertaking that will be
advantageous to each of our institutions and to the constituencies
we serve.”
Neff and Andrews also commended the efforts of
Rep. Rocky Adkins (82), Rep. John Will Stacy (77) and
Sen. Charlie Borders (75) for their efforts in support of the
project.
The clinic will serve as the primary training site for the SCR/UK
family practice residency program and will include examination
rooms, a dental suite, as well as provide for a clinical laboratory and
basic radiology services. The comprehensive health education center will be designed to accommodate a wide range of continuing
education/workshop programs, teleconferencing and telemedicine
initiatives, specialized professional development/enrichment
opportunities for health-care providers, and rural health research
activities.
The space for MSU’s departments of nursing and imaging sciences would include lecture and laboratory classrooms to support
the associate and baccalaureate degree nursing programs, the radiologic technology program, and the sonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance program options. Also included
would be faculty/staff offices and conference areas. In addition, discussion with UK continues regarding other possible educational

Imaging sciences students have 100 percent pass rate
Imaging sciences graduates continue to
demonstrate that Morehead State
University offers a quality education to its
students.
All 32 May graduates of the University’s
radiologic science program have passed
their national licensure examinations
administered by the American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), the certification agency for that program.
“One hundred percent of our students
passed their boards on their first attempt,”
said Barbara Dehner (83), chair of the
Department of Imaging Sciences. “What
makes this even more remarkable is that this
is the third consecutive year that the graduates have accomplished this.”
The students completed the initial twoyear, associate’s degree component within
the program, and were then eligible to sit
for board exams. Once they passed their
exams, they were eligible to work as a technologist.
Many of the students have or will return
to MSU to pursue a Bachelor of Science in
Imaging Sciences (BSIS) degree, with a
specialty in computed tomography/magnetic resonance or
diagnostic medical sonography.
“These excellent student
outcomes reaffirm the quality
of our educational programs

department chair, I knew I
wanted to eventually be back in
the classroom learning with my
students,” Dr. Moore recalled.
“After 23 years as a department
chair, dean and provost, that
time has come.”
He continued: “I have
enjoyed serving as provost the
last nine years and appreciated
the opportunity to support and
enhance MSU’s mission. I am
looking forward to continuing
that support as a member of the
faculty.”
Active in numerous professional organizations, Dr. Moore

GREETINGS FROM THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE!
We would like to bring to your attention an exciting new feature in the OVC this season. We will be Web-streaming many games throughout the year involving Morehead State athletes.
Every home OVC football and men’s and women’s basketball game will be available for viewing through the OVC Web site at
ovcsports.com. Or, you will be able to go directly to ovcsports.tv to plug into the video stream.
In addition to football and basketball, there will be games in selected other sports – at the discretion of each OVC institution – that will
be available on ovcsports.tv. This premium site, in which a small fee will be charged, will also include selected coaches shows, press conferences, OVC championship events in various sports, on-demand features and highlight packages.
This will be an excellent way for you to view these events live, or they can be downloaded for viewing at a later time. Every Web-streamed
event will be archived, so if you miss it live, you’ll be able watch it whenever you want, as many times as you want. What better way to
watch your team when you can’t be there in person?
More information will be available on ovcsports.com.
Best wishes,
Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher
OVC Commissioner
