They will host prospective students and family members for the True Blue Preview starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 26, in the Student Union.

“Our final True Blue Preview opportunity will be this Saturday,” said Laurie Witherow, associate vice provost for Admissions and Enrollment Services. “With more than 600 RSVPs, we’re excited to welcome so many newly admitted Blue Raiders and prospective students to campus so they can take a closer look.”

Witherow said the day will begin with academic browsing and academic programs.

“The later sessions will be a deeper dive into the majors we offer in our seven academic colleges,” she added. “Admitted students will have time to meet with an admissions counselor to make sure they are all set for this fall. It’ll be a beautiful day for a tour.”

Also offered are daily campus tours. For more information, email tours@mtsu.edu or call 615-898-5670.
