From its humble beginnings as a normal school established to train teachers, MTSU is now broadly recognized throughout the state as
Tennessee’s Best comprehensive university. As the institution has experienced significant growth and has become a key component
of middle Tennessee’s education and economic engine, it has never lost sight of its commitment to students, seeking to provide a supportive learning environment, the finest faculty, and a learning experience as personal and unique as its graduate
and undergraduate student populations. Grounded in outstanding tradition, MTSU faces a future that has never been brighter. This biennial presidential report is intended to celebrate the exciting advances and achievements that the University’s collective efforts have produced over the past few years. These accomplishments would not have been possible without the incredible faculty and staff in place at MTSU.
