MURFREESBORO — Prospective MTSU students and their guests are invited for an in-depth look at the MTSU campus and to meet with someone from two academic colleges of their choice during the upcoming True Blue Experience Day.

Set for 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31, the student recruitment event allows prospective students and their parents or guardians to get information on general requirements, student involvement, and housing and campus tours.

The program will begin promptly at 10 a.m., so attendees are strongly encouraged to plan to arrive early for parking and checking in.

Following the Jan. 31 event, the next True Blue Experience Day is set for April 12.
