Learning spaces in MSU's Jackson Hall named

Construction on Murray State University's new Jackson Hall of Nursing and Health Professions is underway, and last December, the University's Board of Regents announced that one of the building's most integral learning spaces will be named the "Oleta E. Burkeen Nursing Essential Skills and Health Assessments Lab" in appreciation of the loyal support and generosity that Oleta and Charlie Burkeen and their daughter and son-in-law Kelli and Scott Parsons have shown to the University over many years and continuing into the future. 

Recently, the Parsons have made a significant new commitment of financial support to help furnish the soon-to-be Jackson Hall School of Nursing and Health Professions Building with modern, state-of-the art equipment and technology to provide Murray State nursing students with top class learning facilities. 

The new building will offer Murray State University's nursing students state-of-the-art technology, expanded space for labs, larger classrooms, simulation areas, spaces for student and faculty collaboration and study and the campus health clinic.
