MURFREESBORO, Tenn. —
More than 50 Midstate high school counselors and community college staff
attended an MTSU admissions-hosted
luncheon as the university courts them in an effort to recruit students for
2018 and beyond.
The 52 counselors from Rutherford and surrounding counties
and directors and staff from Motlow College’s Smyrna campus learned about
MTSU’s 240 combined undergraduate (140) and graduate (100) programs.
Among the Middle Tennessee high schools with representatives
in attendance were Siegel, Oakland, Blackman, Riverdale, Stewarts Creek and Smyrna in Rutherford County; Dickson,
Franklin and DeKalb counties; Spring Hill
and Zion Christian in Columbia,
Tennessee, Wilson Central in
Lebanon, Tennessee; Community High
School in Unionville, Tennessee; and others.
The counselors and community college staff gathered
information they can share with their students and talked to MTSU admissions
representatives and administrators, including President Sidney A. McPhee. He
told them about new programs including fermentation science and religious
studies.
In addition to goody bags, McPhee presented nearly $5,000 in
scholarships the counselors and Motlow staff can give to students planning to
attend MTSU in the future.
The staffers also were among the first to view the new video
for the upcoming True Blue Tour.
The first of two MTSU Fall
Preview Days will be Saturday, Sept. 23, on campus. For more information,

college staff and a 6 p.m. student reception in Franklin, Tennessee.
