Murray State’s Program of Distinction in Telecommunications Systems Management (TSM) will host the annual, AT&T Women in Telecom Golf Day, Sept. 16. Held at Murray State’s beautiful Miller Memorial Golf Course, this event, which is one of a kind in the region, was developed specifically for women in the telecom industry. The golfing activities are designed for women who do and do not know how to golf to come together for a day of networking and fun. AT&T has sponsored the event the past few years and continues its support this September. The Center for TSM at Murray State is asking for a $50 donation from each participant to help fund the AT&T Women in Telecom Scholarship that will be awarded to chosen females entering the Murray State TSM program for the 2010-2011 school year.
