MURRAY, Ky. – After many years of loyal service to her Alma Mater, Senior Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Jackie Dudley has announced her retirement from Murray State University. She will become Vice President Emeritus thereafter to denote her 40 years of dedicated service. Professionally, Dudley holds certificates as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Certified Management Accountant (CMA). While her career at the University focused on the accounting, financial management, treasury and budget services, as Vice President, she is also responsible for the functional areas of student financial services, police, facilities management, procurement services, information systems and the operational aspects of auxiliary services (housing, dining and the bookstore). Dudley has worked to ensure a consistent and stable financial base for the University, including budgets, audits, cash management and capital financing. During her tenure she has helped lead transformational facilities and infrastructure changes, implement significant scholarship enhancements to support enrollment, and navigate through the tumultuous times of COVID. “It has been a privilege to serve Murray State for many years, and I am grateful for so many opportunities afforded to me for personal and professional growth,” said Dudley. “I have enjoyed a wonderful career and hope that I have contributed to the progress of the University. “Our campus community has always been comprised of numerous dedicated and loyal individuals and working alongside many has truly been the most enjoyable part of my time at the University. This is what makes us the ‘finest place we know.’ I look forward to watching the University continue to flourish and make positive change for the students and the larger community we serve.” “Jackie’s service to Murray State University has been exemplary, and the impact of her 40 years of service is immeasurable in numerous facets,” Murray State University President Dr. Ron Patterson said. “She has served her role with both humility and consistency. On behalf of Murray State University, I would like to congratulate Jackie on her well-deserved retirement and steadfast commitment to our institution.” The University will commence a search soon for her successor to ensure a smooth transition in this leadership role.
