A Place for Everyone

Murray has been with San Jacinto College for 15 years and is currently the coordinator for education and workforce at the Maritime Campus.    
Krissy Murray
Being able to advise and help people come to the U.S. to study is just gratifying on a different level. Seeing our students cross the finish line and get the job after all the time and hard work they put into classes is the best.”
Krissy Murray
Coordinator for education and workforce at the Maritime Campus

Murray believes maritime transportation is essential because life in the U.S. is completely centered around trade, commerce, and the importing and exporting of goods.   

“People don't realize that our inland waterways and river systems are how all the products, petroleum, vehicles, electronics, medicine, and food we need and consume get to us,” she said. “Before these items arrive in stores, gas stations, and hospitals, they arrive here on ships and get transported to various docks via boats manned by mariners. Without mariners working on these vessels, these products would not make it to the trucks to be delivered to stores, etc.”
