Authentic African crafts and works of art will be available this week in a sale to benefit an MTSU student organization.

The Master of Science in Professional Science Club will sponsor an African crafts sale fundraiser from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Thursday, March 7, in the second-floor lobby of the Keathley University Center.

Bags, sandals, handmade figurines, woven mats, paintings, wood mosaics and jewelry made in Kenya will be available at prices ranging from $5 to $40.

The MSPS Club is made up of students seeking a Master of Science in Professional Science degree at MTSU. The two-year interdisciplinary program in science, technology, engineering and mathematics — the first of its kind in Tennessee — equips students for work in public and private business enterprises and in academia by emphasizing expertise in science and business.

The public is welcome to the sale. For more information, contact Karen Case at 615-898-2061 or karen.case@mtsu.edu.
