There was plenty of variety — military science, athletics, education abroad and more — for the students to consider.

The Department Fair is one of numerous Week of Welcome events available for students to attend when they are not in the classroom.

The Campus Recreation Center, Health Promotion, Health Services/MTSU Pharmacy, the MTSU Police Department, MT BluePrint, the Department of Recording Industry and the University College were among the departments and offices with representatives on hand to talk with students.
