ADULT LEARNERS TO CELEBRATE THEIR HARD WORK AT MTSU
Nontraditional Student Week, Nov. 5-9, Recognizes Adult College Students

(MURFREESBORO) – MTSU will celebrate Nontraditional Student Week Nov. 5-9 with various activities designed to highlight adult learners, including an open house, receptions for students, informational opportunities and a major dinner.
On Tuesday, Nov. 6, Older Wiser Learners (OWLs) will sponsor a Faculty and Staff Open House in the Off-Campus Student Services Office, Room 320 of the Keathley University Center (KUC). That evening, from 4-6 p.m., students enrolled in evening classes are welcome to stop by the office for a cup of hot cider and special nontraditional student gifts.
On Wednesday, Nov. 7, OWLs will set up a table in front of the KUC grill from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. to provide more information about the services available for nontraditional students at MTSU.
OWLs will hold its annual Nontraditional Week Dinner in the Tom H. Jackson Building (formerly the Alumni Center) for adult learners and their families from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 8. OWLs will provide turkey and dressing. Participants are encouraged to bring salads, vegetables, beverages or desserts.
New members of Pinnacle Honor Society, a group developed specifically for nontraditional students, will be initiated following the dinner. December graduates will be honored, and the Pinnacle Award of Achievement will be presented.
