Recruiting event planned for Franklin Marriott Cool Springs
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. —
Middle Tennessee State University kicked off its 2018 True Blue Tour to recruit prospective students in August with a
rousing start at its Murfreesboro campus for the first time — and soon will be
heading to Franklin, Tennessee, for
the third leg of the 14-city schedule.
MTSU recruiters, admissions staff, administrators, advisers
and other team members will take the university on the road Tuesday, Oct. 2, to
meet students and their families for a 6 to 8 p.m. reception at the Franklin Marriott Cool Springs, 700
Cool Springs Blvd., in Franklin.
Earlier that day, MTSU invites area counselors and community
college staff for a 12:30 p.m. luncheon at the same venue.
MTSU’s True Blue Tour travels from Memphis to Johnson City
in Tennessee and to Louisville and Bowling Green in Kentucky, Birmingham and Huntsville in Alabama and to Atlanta,
Georgia, to meet prospective students for 2019 and beyond.
The True Blue Tour events are free. To register for the
reception or counselor luncheon, visit www.mtsu.edu/rsvp.
Students from Williamson County high schools — Brentwood,
Franklin, Battle Ground Academy, Independence, Centennial, Renaissance,
Ravenwood, Nolensville, Page and Fairview — are invited to attend along with
homeschool students.
MTSU recruiters also are reaching out to students from high
schools in Maury, Marshall and other Midstate counties, inviting them to the
Williamson County tour event as well.
For those unable to attend the Franklin event, they are
welcome to register for the 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, event in Nashville at the
Millennium Maxwell House, 2025 Rosa L. Parks Blvd.
“Our key annual recruiting event, the True Blue Tour, gets
bigger and better each year, and we’re looking forward to visiting Franklin and
Williamson County once again,” MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee said.
In addition to deans, administrators, advisers and
admissions recruiters, financial aid staff will also join the president in
Franklin.
“The end result is a wonderful opportunity for prospective
students and their parents to hear firsthand from MTSU representatives, as well
as get important information about admission and financial aid,” McPhee said.
“This is a prime opportunity to explain the unique educational experience MTSU
offers.”
Registered students have opportunities to win a certificate
for an iPad, scholarships, Phillips Bookstore gift cards and other prizes at
True Blue Tour events.
