Adrienne King
Director of Kentucky Academic Technology Education
A faculty member slaying a giraffe as a wild game hunter was the last thing Adrienne King had to deal with at Idaho State before she transitioned into her position at Murray State. King has been offered the position of vice president for marketing and outreach, pending the “Board of Regents” approval. She will begin her duties Sept. 1. Sherry McClain, director of print media, branding, marketing and communication said King’s position at the University will be very similar to the position left vacant by the late Jim Carter.
