Erin Stevens '06

Associate Director of Alumni Relations

It would be difficult to find a member of the McMurry family that wears her maroon and white with more pride than Erin Stevens. As a student, she served as president of her social club, Student Ambassador Board and McMurry Student Government, while participating in many other campus activities. She is a regular at McMurry Basketball games and even has a dog named Mic, with another on the way that she says she will name Murry. But most importantly, Erin truly believes in the mission of McMurry and believes she wouldn’t be who she is today without it.

At her home in Amarillo, Texas, Erin attended church with many alumni and board of trustees members. “Growing up, I always seemed to hear about this place called McMurry. When I finally figured out it was a school, I thought maybe I should check it out. Clifford Trotter in particular was encouraging me to attend, so I came to visit and just felt like I should be here,” said Erin. She feels that decision was one that changed her life. “McMurry took someone like me—an average kid in high school—and turned me into a leader. It gave me a future and life skills that will be with me forever. It is a place that will be forever written on my heart. I am McMurry!”

Now, her McMurry story continues as she serves in the Office of Alumni Relations as Associate Alumni Director. “My job is very rewarding because I am able to experience the best of two worlds. As sponsor of Student Ambassador Board, I am still able to connect with students, and as an alumni director, I interact with alumni who have made McMurry into the wonderful school that it is today!” She also enjoys the fundraising aspect of her job. “It is a constant reminder that, when people give, it helps a student receive a solid education like I did.”
