On National Higher Education Day, University of Advancing Technology (UAT) is spotlighting one of our many esteemed faculty members. Professor Ryan Murray teaches in the field of Digital Maker & Fabrication (DMF), working with our students in UAT's Maker Lab teaching them how to use a multitude of 3D printers, softwares and other fabrication tools. Professor Murray took some time out of his busy teaching schedule to interview with us, read what he had to say about how he got started in fabrication, the evolving field of DMF, and how he helps students succeed at UAT.
As University of Advancing Technology’s (UAT) Class of 2025 prepared to close one chapter and step boldly into the next, they were introduced to someone who has done just that—on a cosmic scale. Kellie Gerardi, researcher, astronaut, and mother who became only the 90th woman in history to travel to space, was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from UAT—not just in recognition of her achievements, but as a symbol of what’s possible when determination meets opportunity.
At this year's Commencement Ceremony, SorbiForce CEO, Serge Kaminsky, was conferred an Honorary Doctorate for his work in innovation, invention and energy manufacturing.
From the start, he found his place on campus through hands-on projects. Whether leading his own or contributing to others', collaboration became his cornerstone. “Projects kept me motivated. I’d meet people through clubs and other activities, and we’d work together—helping each other, sharing ideas. That’s how I stayed involved.” Larry understood that college offers a rare environment—one where people are open to sharing knowledge and energy. He wanted to make the most of that. “You only get this once—being surrounded by people who are just as excited to build something as you are. I knew I had to take advantage of that.”
When asked about influential figures during his time at UAT, he mentioned Professor Ryan Murray, who encouraged him to take ownership of his ideas. “Meeting Professor Ryan changed how I looked at creating things. He inspired me to stop hesitating and just do it—to build what I want and trust myself as a creator.”
One of his proudest memories was presenting his award winning Student Innovation Project (SIP) Fair Game in Production Studios. The moment marked not just a milestone in class, but a celebration of teamwork and creativity. “We worked so hard on that project. Seeing our video on screen, knowing the effort we all put in—that was huge.”
His next chapter begins quickly: a new role with Airpark Signs, a company he toured as a student. He starts May 20th on a 10-week contract. “They offered me the job last Friday, gave me the weekend to think it over, and I accepted. I’m excited—it’s a chance to get started right away, learn, and see where it leads.”
At the same time, he plans to continue developing Fair Game, blending his entrepreneurial ambitions with hands-on industry experience. “Entrepreneurship is still the goal. I want to build something of my own and keep that going, even as I step into the workforce.”
From building community on campus to stepping into a new career, this Brooke Cayce Legacy Leadership Award recipient shows that leading with authenticity, curiosity, and heart can leave a lasting impact—both on others and on your own path.
