MURFREESBORO — An
MTSU student organization has been recognized at the national level for its
remarkable membership growth.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People gave the 2016 Chairman’s Trophy to its MTSU collegiate chapter at the
107th annual NAACP convention, which took place July 16-20 in
Cincinnati, Ohio. The honor is bestowed annually on the college chapter with
the largest membership increase.
“We have become a pretty well-known group on campus,” said
Malik Lennon, president of the MTSU student chapter and a multimedia journalism
major from Clarksville, Tennessee. “We have become involved with a lot of
community service projects both on and off campus, and I think that appeals to
a lot of our members.”
The group has grown from 15 members to nearly 60 members in
the past few years, according to Millicent Nelson, faculty adviser to the
chapter for the past five years and an associate professor in the Department of
Management.
