Murphy is joined by Kellie Hunt Blue as the vice chair and Pearl Burris-Floyd as the secretary. Their two-year terms in their leadership positions begin July 1, 2024.  
 
“I’m honored to be elected chair at a time when three women will assume leadership roles as Board officers for the first time in history,” Murphy said. “This is a critical moment for higher education, and I’m blessed to serve alongside Vice Chair Kellie Hunt Blue and Secretary Pearl Burris-Floyd. Together, we have meaningful experience on university boards in North Carolina, and I know we will always keep students at the forefront of our minds when making decisions about the university.”
