ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BOARD SPOTLIGHT

Michael Gray (Class of 1992) was a member of the Eagle Football Team, playing from 1989–91. He also became a proud member of the Zeta Lambda Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. in 1989. Since his graduation, he has been an actively involved member of the Alumni Association and currently serves as a member of the Alumni Board of Directors.

In addition to his service on the board, Michael is one of the driving forces behind MSU’s thriving African American Alumni Group events. He oversees the planning and implementation of the African American Alumni Reunion’s biennial event that occurs during Homecoming. Michael has assisted with the coordination of this event for more than 20 years. Thanks to the volunteer efforts of several alumni, including Michael, this reunion brings together hundreds of alumni to reconnect.

In 2013, the group established the Dr. Jerry Gore Memorial African American Heritage Scholarship Endowment. Since that time, the endowment has grown significantly thanks to the contributions of alumni and friends. Currently, the fund is valued at nearly $100,000.

Michael is making plans now to celebrate the success of the past fundraising endeavors in honor and memory of Dr. Gore by planning a series of events in conjunction with the 2023 Homecoming Festivities. The schedule of events will be available soon! For more information about this event, visit alumni.moreheadstate.edu/homecoming.
