Please join me in welcoming Denise Murphy as the new Director of Academic Success and Library Services. With a strong background in library science, Denise brings a wealth of experience in academic and public libraries, leadership and a deep passion for fostering learning, literacy and student success.
Below is a little more about Denise in her own words:
Hello! My name is Denise Murphy, and I’m thrilled to be joining Rogue Community College as the Director of Academic Success and Library Services. In this role, I will be overseeing Tutoring, Testing and Library Services across all three of our campuses.
I bring over a decade of experience in both academic and public libraries. Throughout my career, I’ve built partnerships with community organizations to deliver engaging library programs, secured and managed grant funding to enhance services, and collaborated closely with faculty and staff to support students and the broader community. I’m deeply passionate about student success and committed to providing equitable access to learning resources.
My family and I are relocating to Grants Pass from Eureka, California, though we’re originally from Boise, Idaho. We enjoy spending time outdoors—fishing, camping and mushroom hunting—and we’re excited to explore everything this beautiful area has to offer. Thank you all for the warm welcome—I look forward to working with you!
Best,
Denise
