Returning Home

About this episode

Cory Murphy shares her journey of returning to Montclair State University to pursue her Bachelor's and Master's degrees, supported by her family.

For this episode’s guest, Cory Murphy, Montclair State University has been a lasting presence. With a mother who worked in admissions for thirty years, the campus felt more than just familiar – it felt like home. Though MSU was a welcoming environment where Cory thrived through extracurriculars like radio and on-campus concerts, life (as it sometimes does) got in the way. Fifteen years later, Cory has returned, bringing a story many listeners can relate to as she pursues not only her Bachelor’s, but her Master’s as well. She opens up to host Natalie T. López, M.A. about her career hopes and dreams, how her husband supports her, and how her son provides her with the drive to keep moving forward.
