Foster academic community
The University has taken important steps to foster academic community between 2015 and 2022. Drawing upon current program strengths, our faculty have developed new programs in emerging and interdisciplinary fields. The University has increased its investment in creating, preserving, and sharing knowledge that sustains learning, scholarship, and outreach by fostering relationships among faculty, students, staff, alumni, communities, and partners. MTSU continues to embrace diversity in its academic community because diversity and the free exchange of ideas are necessary to create new knowledge, advance excellence in academic programs, scholarship, and the arts, and promote meaningful academic, civic, and professional engagement.
