Middle Tennessee State University representatives discussed leadership at the Center for Historic Preservation, a 10-year Dale Carnegie program partnership and an upcoming blood drive during an Oct. 19 WGNS radio program broadcast from downtown Murfreesboro, according to an MTSU announcement published Oct. 28.
The live “Action Line” segment with WGNS host Scott Walker aired on FM 100.5 and 101.9 and AM 1450, MTSU said. The university said Dr. Tiffany Momon, who took over this year as director of the Center for Historic Preservation, discussed her role and plans for the center. She succeeded longtime director Dr. Carroll Van West, who retired earlier this year, according to MTSU.
Kenneth George, a marketing lecturer and senior Dale Carnegie Trainer at MTSU, and Natalie Stepien, a graduate assistant in the Jones College of Business Management Department, discussed the business college’s 10-year partnership with the Dale Carnegie course, the announcement said. MTSU said the course is part of the Jones College curriculum and runs for 12 weeks, with students practicing communication and leadership skills.
Dr. Gloria Bonner, MTSU emeritus dean of education and a member of the Bleed Blue blood drive committee, discussed the annual “100 Miles of Hope” competition with Western Kentucky University, MTSU said. This year’s drive is scheduled for Nov. 2-4, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the MTSU Campus Recreation Center, according to the announcement.
MTSU said last year it collected 301 units of blood, compared with WKU’s 211, and that more than 150 first-time donors took part.
