Associate Dean of Liberal Arts and Professor of Art

MFA, Yale University

email: jmurray@olemiss.edu
As a member of the faculty at the Yale School of Art
from 1987 to 1997, Murray taught graphic design and typography to undergraduate
and graduate students. She was a College Dean, a member of the graphic
design faculty, and director of undergraduate studies for the art
major.
With bachelor's and MFA degrees from Yale, Murray also worked as a senior graphic designer for Weekly Reader, a graphic design consultant, director of the Migrations Project: Folk Arts to Enhance the Curriculum, and coordinator of special programs for the James Weldon Johnson Collection at Yale.
Murray, whose special interests include community-oriented design and out- reach and interdisciplinary projects involving folk arts and poetry, holds a broad view of the value of art education.
"I feel that art courses offer all kinds of
students a very special liberal arts ex- perience," she says.
Studying art can enrich students' experiences and help them
discover their role in society. " In all our classes we want
to provide a nurturing en- vironment for creative work — a place
where people develop critical
cognitive skills and self — discipline as well as self-expression
and creativity."
