President, deans and counselors to
meet with prospective students in
Chattanooga, Johnson City, Knoxville,
Nashville, Memphis and Jackson
Middle Tennessee State University’s top
administrators and deans will meet with prospective students in six Tennessee
cities in September and October as part of the university’s annual True Blue
Tour.
The statewide tour, organized by the university’s
Admissions Office, will include student receptions in Chattanooga on Wednesday,
Sept. 17; Johnson City on Monday, Sept. 22; Knoxville on Tuesday, Sept. 23;
Nashville on Tuesday, Sept. 30; Memphis on Wednesday, Oct. 22; and Jackson on
Thursday, Oct. 23.
MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee and other
administrators will join deans of the university’s eight academic colleges and
counselors from the financial aid and admissions offices to answer questions
from prospective students, transfer students and their parents.
“We look forward to these trips each year,” McPhee
said. “They allow us to meet top-notch students across the state and tell them
about all our university has to offer.”
MTSU’s admissions counselors will also meet with
high school counselors at each tour stop and provide them with campus and
program updates, said Deb Sells, vice president for student affairs and vice
provost for enrollment and academic services.
Each True Blue Tour reception starts at 6 p.m.
local time. The events are free, but students should register in advance at http://tinyurl.com/2014TrueBlueTour.
