MURFREESBORO, Tenn. —
Maybe it was the free slices of pizza or hot dogs and chips. Possibly it
was the $5 T-shirts, Smoothie King samples, opportunities to join off-campus
student ministries or other goodies.
With bright and warm sunshine as a backdrop, Middle Tennessee State University’s
two-day “Meet Murfreesboro” Connection
Point event drew a crowd in the Student
Union Commons.
The annual New
Student and Family Programs and Center
for Student Involvement and Leadership welcome week event introduces off-campus
businesses, restaurants, ministries and more to students and MTSU employees.
Meet Murfreesboro will continue from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 30.
“This is cool. It’s nice to have stuff to get involved with
on campus,” said Lauren Crass, 18, a
freshman interior design major from Knoxville, Tennessee. Having made a
purchase from Raider Tees, she added it’s “a very good deal on T-shirts.”
Holding a smoothie sample in her hand, Keisha Burton, 21, a senior from Memphis, Tennessee, and child
development and family studies major, said she had just gotten out of class,
“but this looks welcoming.”
Insurance companies State Farm and Acceptance, Redstone
Federal Credit Union, Bethel Community Church, LYFE (Liberated Young Focused
Empowered) Campus Ministry, Freebirds World Burrito and Paul Mitchell were
among the businesses spotted under two large tents.
The MTSU Department
Fair will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31.
