We are excited to share this transformative investment in the future of agriculture, ranching, and agribusiness! The Diaz W. Murray Center for Farm, Ranch & Rangeland Management will create meaningful opportunities for research, education, and hands-on learning through the Dillard College of Business Administration. 🌾
A new investment in the future of agriculture and ranching through the Dillard College of Business Administration at Midwestern State University will serve as a leading resource and catalyst for promoting both economic viability and environmental stewardship through collaborative research, education, and innovative agribusiness solutions.
To establish a strong foundation for long-term success, Laura and Diaz Murray have made a generous commitment of $2.5 million to the Midwestern State University Foundation, Inc., for the benefit of the University and the establishment of the Center for Farm, Ranch & Rangeland Management. The center is dedicated to enhancing the economic profitability and financial viability of production agriculture. It will also foster healthy rangeland ecosystems through practical, research-based knowledge and support that emphasize hands-on application, enabling students to learn and implement best practices.
In recognition of the Murrays’ generosity, the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents approved the naming of the Diaz W. Murray Center for Farm, Ranch & Rangeland Management at its August meeting.
