MURFREESBORO—Residents in middle and east Tennessee have reported incidents in which young people posing as Middle Tennessee State University students have tried to solicit funds for an overseas trip. In both cases, the solicitors stated they were students in MTSU’s College of Mass Communication.
Neither MTSU nor the university’s College of Mass Communication is sponsoring any such trip or is connected in any way to a fund-raising venture of this type. Please contact your local police department if you learn of other such solicitors in your neighborhood.
