MTSU
faculty and staff took to WGNS Radio recently to share information about
the university’s efforts to emphasize the value of a liberal arts education,
the latest events and enhancements in the fine arts department as well as
ongoing faculty and staff projects to preserve history.
The
details were shared during the May 15 “Action Line” program with host Bart
Walker. The live program was broadcast on FM 100.5, 101.9 and AM 1450 from
the WGNS studio in downtown Murfreesboro. If you missed it, you can listen
