MURFREESBORO — Memphis will be the fifth stop next week on
the statewide Middle Tennessee State University True Blue Tour to recruit
outstanding students from West Tennessee.
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. Wednesday, Oct. 30, at the Memphis Botanic
Garden, 750 Cherry Road, in Memphis. To register in advance, visit www.mtsu.edu/rsvp.
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.
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 Student Affairs Vice President Deb
Sells’ agenda when MTSU representatives talk to prospective students, their
parents or guardians and alumni.
MTSU officials
will be pitching the recently announced “Graduate in Four (years) and Get More”
program that highlights the Student Success Advantage for students starting in
fall 2015. The program adds a total of $1,000 back to eligible Hope Scholarship
recipients during the first two years ($500 each year), guarantees scholarships
to eligible transfer students and returns tuition increases to eligible
students who stay on track to graduate in four years.
