Kathleen Murphy, Undersecretary of Religious Affairs

My name is Kathleen Murphy and I am a member of the class of 2012. I am a International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies double major. I’m involved in several campus organizations such as the Rowing Team, Honor Council and Spotswood society. I’m also a fan of running around Colonial Williamsburg, getting ice cream and watching old movies. I decided to join the Cabinet because I am a large proponent of religious diversity due to growing up outside the United States. I learned how valuable it can be to look outside my comfort zone, but also how hard it can be to reach out of that comfort zone. I’m here to help bridge the gap so all William and Mary students can learn about new religions and beliefs. The purpose of my job is not limited to helping students who already practice a religion, but it also extends to those who question religion and those who do not practice a religion. Let me know if you have suggestions or ideas about how to expand the religious dialogue on campus.
