[526] Graduating MTSU seniors invited to April 17 Alumni Networking Night

MURFREESBORO — MTSU seniors approaching graduation in about three weeks will join young alumni and university graduates of all ages for the next Alumni Relations Networking Night.

Career Development Center Assistant Director Dusty Doddridge will serve as guest speaker for the networking night, which will be held starting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 17, in the Kennon Sports Hall of Fame on campus.

Parking will be available in the Greenland Drive lot. A printable campus map can be found at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap13-14.

The event is free. Reservations are requested by either calling 615-898-2922 or email alumni@mtsu.edu. Everyone is welcome even if they do not RSVP, said Paul Wydra, an alumni relations assistant director.

Wydra said Doddridge will be speaking about developing the professional resume and interview skills, along with other topics related to finding a job in today’s work environment.

“Dusty will talk about resume writing, but a little bit of networking will be going on as well,” Wydra said. “It goes along with the Alumni Networking Night series and ties in with Senior Day, which was held Monday (April 14). We thought a lot of seniors would get a lot of it.”

Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be served.

Commencement ceremonies will be held Saturday, May 10, in Murphy Center. About 2,300 degree candidates will be earning their diplomas. This includes more than 1,900 undergraduate students and nearly 400 graduate students.
