Maggie Murph Coffee Meet-Up Photo Gallery

Guests attending the Maggie Murph Coffee Meet-Up

On Saturday morning of Carnival weekend, the Class of 1966, many of whom graduated from Margaret Morrison Carnegie College (affectionately known as “Maggie Murph”), gathered for a reunion breakfast in the recently renovated Maggie Murph Café in Hunt Library.

The refreshed cafe features an installation celebrating the history of Margaret Morrison Carnegie College, named in honor of Andrew Carnegie’s mother. The college was founded in 1906 and closed in 1973, when the College of Humanities and Social Sciences opened and women became fully integrated into CMU. Maggie Murph alumnae and friends, led by Patti Askwith Kenner (MM 1966), provided generous support for the establishment of the cafe in 2006, to honor the legacy of the college.

The images highlighted in the installation were curated by Julia Corrin, the Michael and Lonna Smith University Archivist and Associate Dean for Distinctive Collections, while Associate Director of Creative Heidi Wiren Kébé created the design. The space features one of a growing number of exhibitions by the University Archives across campus, bringing CMU’s history to a broader audience and inviting the community to engage with the past that shaped what the university is today.
