Eighty-six 4th through 6th grade students explored careers in horse science, concrete management, athletics, science and biology as part of Club MARVEL. 

“Being on a college campus is exciting for our students and allows them to see far beyond high school,” says Greg Lyles, MCS Outreach Coordinator. 

In its sixth year, Club MARVEL, a collaboration between Middle Tennessee State University and Murfreesboro City Schools, has not deviated from the original purpose of generating and developing excitement about a college campus, what it offers, and the vision it can create. 

MARVEL is an acronym that stands for:

M – Murfreesboro City Schools / Middle Tennessee State University

A- assuring

R – rigor and a 

V – vision for the future through the

E- enrichment of

L – learning

Students learned about professional opportunities available in various industries and participated in hands-on learning activities.
