"We also see this gathering as a way to engage with the high school guidance counselors in a collaboration that exposes them to our offerings," added Dr. John Cade, interim vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Support Services. "We find this to be very rewarding for Metro (Metro Nashville Public Schools) and Tennessee State University." During portions of the training, the various colleges at the University will display their academic programs, while deans will be given up to five minutes each to pitch their offerings.
