[030] Summer 2017 MTSU Magazine highlights 10 initiatives improving the quality of academics

MURFREESBORO — The summer 2017 edition of MTSU Magazine includes a list of 10 initiatives taking shape at MTSU, resulting in a campus growing in quantity and, most importantly, in quality.

“MTSU is already a great university,” wrote MTSU Magazine editor Drew Ruble. “The largest provider of college-degreed workers in the Midstate, MTSU has experienced significant growth in recent years, including over $700 million in construction. But the University is not done building.”

A few examples of items on the list include:

·      MTSU’s distinguished Board of Trustees, now steering the University as an independent governing body, is comprised of accomplished alumni and other prominent business leaders.

·      MTSU’s newest degree programs and majors match curricula with real-world preparedness, as well as student interest with industry needs.

·      MTSU has strengthened its international initiatives both on campus and around the world.

·      Several new centers on campus are broadening MTSU’s areas of expertise.

Other articles in the new edition of the magazine include:

·      A profile of retired Lt. Gen. Keith M. Huber, who has elevated MTSU’s proud history of military friendliness since his arrival to campus.

·      A profile of scholar-athlete Brent Stockstill, who has done more than simply pass his way to one of the all-time greatest football careers at Middle Tennessee.

·      An interview with MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee regarding the University’s new governing board and the impact it will have on MTSU.
