We have some exciting news!
Lauren Mills, a junior music education student, has been selected as a state representative for TMEA! To fully understand this honor, we asked Lauren to explain it herself.
“From June 23-25 (Lord willing), I’ll be traveling to DC with three other collegiate representatives from the Tennessee Music Education Association to attend the 2020 NAfME Collegiate Advocacy Summit “Hill Day”. During this event, we will receive advocacy and leadership training that will be put to use on the last day when we meet with the Senators and Congressmen of Tennessee advocating for music funding and support on a legislative level.”
But that isn’t all!
Lauren was also selected as this year’s Presser Scholar for the School of Music. The Presser Scholar is awarded to a music major entering their senior year, recognizing them for their dedication and excellence in the field of music.

Both of these are huge honors, and we are so proud of you Lauren! Thank you for showing excellence in the School of Music!
