Martin Methodist College to hold regional event in Murfreesboro, November 20, 2008
Alumni, friends, United Methodists invited to special Nov. 20 gathering
PULASKI, Tenn. – Alumni, friends, and members of United Methodist churches in the Murfreesboro area will gather in Murfreesboro on Thursday, Nov. 20, for an event sponsored by Martin Methodist College. The dinner and program will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. 5:30 on the 15th floor of the NHC facility at 100 East Vine St.
More than 250 alumni of Martin Methodist College reside in Murfreesboro area, and UMC churches with more than 3,600 members are also in that area. Martin Methodist College is supported by the Tennessee Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Martin Methodist College, founded in 1870 as a school for young women, was a two-year college until 1994, when it became a four-year campus. The trustees approved the ambitious Martin 2010 long-range plan in the spring of 2001, and since that time, MMC has increased its enrollment (from 582 students to 973), academic programs (from five academic programs to 23, with numerous areas of emphasis), and embarked on a $42.8 million fund-raising campaign (with $32.5 million or 76 percent now committed).
Perhaps the most significant achievement has been the creation of the Cal Turner, Jr. Center for Church Leadership, which is providing remarkable service to the United Methodist Church, and the Tennessee Conference, in particular.
“I am excited about Martin Methodist hosting an event in the Murfreesboro area,” said Edna Luna, director of alumni affairs. “We have a wonderful and dedicated group of alumni and friends in the area. This event serves countless purposes as it educates others to our Campaign for Martin 2010 and the benefits, it informs alumni and friends of other Martin Methodist alumni and friends in the area, it reconnects alumni to the college, and it tenders introduction to the college and serves as an educational tool to the church partnerships.”
