On this episode of "Out of the Blue," we’re connecting students with professional skills, celebrating MTSU history, and welcoming new leadership.
The MTSU Career Development Center is helping students discover career paths, connect with potential employers, and build the communication skills they need to succeed. We sit down with the center’s leadership to learn more about its resources and get a preview of the BIG Career Fair coming up in late September.
Then, we take you inside the renovations and rededication of Kirksey Old Main, MTSU’s first building and the starting point for the university we know today. Lovingly restored, this iconic structure remains an enduring symbol of MTSU’s history and True Blue spirit.
Plus, meet Dr. James Bridgeforth, MTSU’s new Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students. He shares his vision for supporting students and enhancing the experiences that help them thrive throughout their MTSU journey.
