FACULTY UPDATES
Dr. Ben Littlepage spent part of the holiday break making stewardship visits across west Kentucky, personally thanking guest speakers who contributed to his ADM 820 course. Each semester, Dr. Littlepage invites leaders in postsecondary education, state government, and economic development to engage with P–20 and Community Leadership doctoral students.
Pictured are State Representatives JT Payne (District 11) and Wade Williams (District 4). Representative Payne spoke with students about the Kentucky General Assembly, his role as a legislator, and the lifecycle of a bill. Representative Williams—also President of the Madisonville–Hopkins County Economic Development Corporation—discussed how economic development organizations collaborate with legislators, higher education institutions, and local businesses to advance community priorities. Both speakers are proud alumni of Murray State University.
Both Rep. Wade and Payne are alumni of Murray State University.
