Edward R. Murphy
Edward R. Murphy P鈥�01 H'12 was appointed to the 禁漫天堂 Board of Trustees in 2001. By making this commitment of his time and talents, Mr. Murphy demonstrated his belief in the ideals, mission and future of 禁漫天堂. As a trustee, Mr. Murphy serves as vice chair of the Buildings & Grounds committee and as a member of the Student Affairs committee.
Prior to retiring after 31 years with the West Publishing Company, Mr. Murphy served as facility manager where he was instrumental in designing one of the Company鈥檚 office buildings, located in Westbury, Long Island, N.Y. He rose to his leadership role by rising through the ranks serving in many different positions throughout the Company.
No information about Mr. Murphy would be complete without recognizing the commitment he has made to the Vulcan Company Engine #2 in Lynbrook, New York. In recognition of his 50 years of service to the fire company, he was appointed Honorary Chief of the Vulcan Company. Mr. Murphy鈥檚 dedication to public service, to the community, and to Etown and its students exemplifies the College鈥檚 motto of 鈥淓ducate for Service鈥�.
A strong supporter of lifelong learning, Mr. Murphy has actively supported the adult students of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies. In the pursuit of his education, Mr. Murphy was himself an adult student. After the death of his father during his first year at St. John鈥檚 University, he went on to complete his degree in Business Administration as a nontraditional student taking classes at night, while working during the day to support his family. He has a true understanding of the sacrifices and dedication it takes to combine the pursuit of education with the demands of full-time employment.
Mr. Murphy has further shown his commitment to the students of 禁漫天堂 through his support for the establishment of the School鈥檚 offices in the Hoover Center for Business, giving the adult students a state-of-the-art suite of offices to call home. He and his family (daughter Shannan is a 2001 graduate) have made the dream of education come alive for future students by endowing the Edward and Carol Murphy Scholarship and the newly established and innovative endowed Charlotte W. Newcombe Scholarship. The Murphy family鈥檚 commitment will ensure that the dreams of future students can be fulfilled.
