Murray State College named Terri Greer its new Assistant Dean of Learning and Student Success.

Greer has served as the college’s Library Director since July 2021, overseeing library operations, collections, and digital resources while expanding student-centered services. In addition to leading the library, she sponsors the President’s Scholars Program and teaches Success Strategies courses that emphasize student engagement, leadership, and academic achievement. Her work has included advancing research initiatives, broadening access to digital resources, and supporting programs that strengthen student learning and community outreach.

“This institution has been an important part of my journey,” Greer said. “I’m passionate about creating opportunities that support our students, strengthen our campus community and uphold our commitment to learning and service.”

In her new role, Greer will provide expanded leadership across key academic support areas, including the Academic Resource Center and library services. She will collaborate with teams supporting career and testing services, accessibility resources and institutional quality initiatives. Her work will also focus on connecting students with workforce opportunities and ensuring that academic support systems meet the evolving needs of on-campus and online learners.

“We are confident in Terri’s ability to lead in this role,” said Becky Henthorn, Murray State College Provost. “Her experience in academic support services and her focus on student achievement position her to make a meaningful impact on how we serve and support students. Her leadership will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen pathways to student success.”

Prior to returning to Murray State, Greer served as Library Director at the University Center of Southern Oklahoma in Ardmore from 2013 to 2021, collaborating with multiple higher education partners to support instruction and student success.

Greer holds an associate degree from Murray State College, a bachelor’s degree in organizational and strategic communication from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and a Master of Library Science from Texas Woman’s University.

“We are proud to see Terri step into this new leadership role,” said Tim Faltyn, Murray State College President. “She brings the vision and experience needed to align resources, expand opportunities and ensure our students are prepared to succeed in a rapidly evolving workforce.”
