MURFREESBORO — With
a record number of graduating student veteran attendees anticipated, the spring
MTSU Stole Ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 13, in Cantrell
Hall of the Tom H. Jackson Building.
The public is invited. A searchable campus parking map is available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap. Visitors attending the event should obtain a special one-day permit
from MTSU’s Office of Parking and Transportation at http://www.mtsu.edu/parking/visit.php

Starting with the first Stole Ceremony in May 2015, MTSU
began to honor its graduating veterans with a formal ceremony in front of
family, friends, visitors and university administrators. They receive red
stoles to wear during May graduation.
Out of 114 student veterans who are expected to graduate in
May, nearly 50 of the student veterans are planning to attend the special
ceremony, said Hilary Miller, director of the MTSU Veterans and Military Family
Center.
Keith M. Huber, MTSU senior adviser for veterans and
leadership initiatives and retired U.S. Army lieutenant general, will oversee
the ceremony.
MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee and Provost Brad Bartel will
provide comments.
For May commencement, MTSU begins a new tradition with a
separate ceremony for graduates from the College of Graduate Studies Friday,
May 6. Two commencement ceremonies for graduating seniors will be held at 9
a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, May 7. For
