MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee State University recently appointed Brock McWhorter as the new development director for the College of Behavioral and Health Sciences.

McWhorter joins MTSU after 13 years at the University of Memphis, where he served in several roles within the athletics department, most recently as director of Annual Fund and Letterwinner Relations. A three-time graduate of the University of Memphis, McWhorter brings extensive experience in donor relations, annual giving, and alumni engagement.

“We are excited to welcome Brock to the team,” said Mark Clark, executive director of development in the MTSU Development Office. “His background in donor relations and his enthusiasm for connecting people with meaningful opportunities to give will be a tremendous asset to the College of Behavioral and Health Sciences and the university as a whole.”

“I’m thrilled to serve our dedicated alumni and donors across Middle Tennessee and beyond,” McWhorter said. “I look forward to celebrating our university’s accomplishments, hearing your story, and learning how MTSU has impacted your life.”

McWhorter and his wife, Rachel, an MTSU alumna and Middle Tennessee native, are excited to return to the community. “We have deep ties to this area, and it’s an honor to be part of the Blue Raider family,” he added.

In his new role, McWhorter will work closely with alumni, donors, and friends of the college to advance the mission of CBHS, which is to learn, lead, and serve to improve the health, safety, and well-being of Tennessee, the nation, and the world.

“As an alumnus and donor, your involvement and support are vital,” McWhorter said. “Your generosity creates transformative opportunities for students, provides essential resources for faculty and staff, and ensures our graduates are well-prepared to lead in their professions.”

The College of Behavioral and Health Sciences is home to programs in nursing, psychology, health and human performance, criminal justice, social work, and other disciplines that prepare students to serve and strengthen communities across Tennessee and beyond.

McWhorter encourages alumni and supporters to stay connected and explore ways to make an impact. “If you have questions about what’s happening in our college or how to get involved, please reach out,” he said.
