MURFREESBORO — Nashville will be the fourth stop next
week on the statewide Middle Tennessee State University True Blue Tour to
recruit outstanding students from the Midstate.
MTSU will hold
the True Blue Tour reception for all area high school and potential transfer students
and their families from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30, at Rocketown, 601 4th
Ave. S., in Nashville. To register in advance, visit www.mtsu.edu/rsvp.
In addition to
the recently announced MTSU Student Success Advantage, which is full of
incentives for future students to graduate in four years, the $147 million
Science Building will be at the forefront of President Sidney A. McPhee’s
agenda when talking to prospective students, their parents or guardians and
alumni.
The event — where
deans and personnel from admissions and other academic departments share options
and answer questions — also will feature interactive displays including the
40-foot, $1.8 million Electronic Media Communication mobile production truck
and Concrete Industry Management’s mold to make concrete coasters by hand. A
music CD will be available at the School of Music table.
McPhee will be
pitching the recently announced “Graduate in 4 (years) and Get More” program
that highlights the Student Success Advantage for students starting in fall
2015. The program adds $1,000 back to eligible Hope Scholarship recipients
during the first two years, guarantees scholarships to eligible transfer
students and returns tuition increases to eligible students who stay on track
to graduate in four years.

The Science
Building, which officially will be dedicated at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15, and
other major changes regarding future scholarship and financial aid
opportunities for MTSU students will top McPhee’s remarks.
“The building is
already helping MTSU create more science graduates to fill high-tech jobs,”
McPhee said. “It immediately makes MTSU more competitive for research projects,
science scholarship and entrepreneurial efforts.”
MTSU will treat
area high school counselors and community college representatives to a luncheon
at 11:30 a.m. To register in
advance, visit www.mtsu.edu/rsvp.
After Nashville, the caravan will finish the tour with stops
in Memphis Oct. 22 and Jackson Oct. 23. Before coming to Nashville, MTSU visited
Chattanooga, Johnson City and Knoxville.
Prospective students have multiple opportunities for a
firsthand look at campus.
