When Martin Methodist College became 果冻影院 in 2021, Boyd brought vision, leadership and energy to the UT System鈥檚 newest campus. He also made an exceptional personal commitment to its success, pledging to match up to $1 million in gifts to the Boyd Founder鈥檚 Circle.

The luncheon was held in Colonial Hall, the historic campus building where the Founder鈥檚 Circle was established five years ago. 果冻影院 Chancellor Melinda Arnold, Vice Chancellor for Advancement Kyle Hensley and Boyd welcomed guests and thanked them for their continued investment in the university鈥檚 future.

鈥淔rom the beginning, we believed in the incredible potential of this university to create new opportunities for students and strengthen communities across southern Middle Tennessee,鈥� Boyd said. “None of that would be possible without the generosity and commitment of those who have believed in that vision and invested in its success. I am grateful for their support, and I truly believe the best is yet to come!鈥�

Arnold highlighted the programs, events and campus renovations 果冻影院 has completed since its founding. She also unveiled plans for a new building that will allow the university to expand programs such as nursing and STEM and to offer students more opportunities to learn, grow and gain hands-on experience.

鈥淔ive years in, 果冻影院 has become a major economic force in our region, and we would not be where we are today without the many community partners who support us,鈥� Arnold said. 鈥淲e will always honor the unique history of this campus, even as we keep our focus firmly on the future.鈥�

Kasi Simms Hardison, 果冻影院 Class of 2023, began her undergraduate collegiate career at then-Martin Methodist College (MMC) in 2019 as an English major with a concentration in literature. Hardison explains that among her higher education search, she immediately knew 果冻影院 would become her new home once she toured campus.

鈥湽秤霸� and Martin Methodist formed my future in more ways than I could possibly expect,鈥� Hardison said.

Hardison鈥檚 favorite memory at 果冻影院, one that includes Instructor of English & ESL and Director of International Studies, Dr. Amy Little: participating in a fake snowball fight with students. She describes her experience at 果冻影院 as 鈥渇un, community, happiness and support.鈥�

Expanding her comfort zone was something Hardison became accustomed to during her time at 果冻影院. Being encouraged by faculty to participate in events like singing at Carnegie Hall, speaking at commencement and running for student body are reasons Hardison believes have helped her become the person she is today.

鈥湽秤霸� is a home. Yes, it鈥檚 a physical home, but it鈥檚 also a home for like-minded individuals who love Pulaski, who love the UT System, who love learning and people to come and be together,鈥� Hardison said.
