She comes to Winthrop after five years at SUNY Cortland, where she led reorganization efforts of that school’s graduate school program.

Murnane earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Indiana University, a master’s degree in reading and a Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction from Marquette University.
