Alumni Success

COE provided me with the knowledge on how higher education administration works along with the skills to think critically, listen, write, and problem solve as well as lead a position in higher education administration that I apply in my current role in fundraising.
-Meredith Kerr, Class of '12, Director of Development MTSU College of Liberal Arts, MTSU

Working as an admissions counselor during my educational journey helped me comprehend each class on a personal level and utilize the skills I obtained throughout my professional career.
-Kristen Janson, Class of '13, Associate Director of Freshman Recruitment, MTSU

I would encourage students to make connections outside of the classroom. Form bonds with alumni, key professors, mentors, and other leaders in the field. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!!
-Trisha Murphy, Class of '13, Director of Development, Colleges of Education and Liberal Arts & Social Sciences, Belmont University

MTSU gave me the foundation to know the importance and proper execution of proper supervision and administration in higher education institutions.
-Rhiannon Overcast, Class of '24, Coordinator, School of Agriculture, MTSU

Meet as many people as you can, share connections, share stories/advice. Everyone have gone through what you are now (as a student) and making those connections and contacts will only strengthen your career circle down the line.
-Paul Wydra, Class of '11, Chief Development Officer, AOS/Sigma Pi Fraternity

It's a privilege to be able to study theoretical concepts in the classroom, and then immediately transition to practical application of those concepts in collaboration with both classmates and colleagues. The work we do as students at MTSU makes a tangible impact on ourselves, our institution, and the students we serve. It is experiential learning at its best!
-Casey Brown, Class of '08, Program Coordinator, Dual Enrollment, MTSU
