Victoria Salazar Elected to McMurry University Student Government Position

2013 May 7

Victoria Salazar has been elected by the McMurry University student body to the office of Senior Class President for the 2013-2014 academic year.

Victoria is a Junior Accounting major from Houston, TX.

Offering a diverse academic curriculum to more than 1,400 students, McMurry University is a small Christian liberal arts school in Abilene. Students choose from 41 majors; education and business are popular as are the school's pre-professional programs in medicine, dentistry, law, and physical therapy. The three-week May Term gives students an opportunity to explore a subject outside their major. Through the Servant Leadership Program, students learn about ethics and develop leadership qualities. Internships with businesses in Abilene present undergraduates with the opportunity to acquire additional knowledge of the workplace in nonprofit and corporate settings.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) have approved McMurry University to grant master's degrees. Beginning in the fall of 2012, students may enroll in a Master of Nursing program through the Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing.

This past summer, McMurry University was accepted into a NCAA Division II candidacy period, bringing back scholarship athletics to the institution for the first time since the 1976–77 school year.
