I’m so proud of @MTSU_PolSci student Yusuf Dogan! He’s interning for Metro Nashville/Davidson County & was asked to research & write this anti-hate resolution. It passed! @SekouFranklin nashville.legistar.com/LegislationDet…
Past & present MPSA members: check your email & take the survey! @mwcps_tweets & other MPSA constituencies pushed for this & MPSA followed through. The new MPSA leadership (permanent staff & elected leaders) is working hard to improve the MPSA & it will help them to have data!
The MPSA needs your help to make sure that the MPSA and its annual conferences provide high quality experiences and a positive working climate. The MPSA will be circulating a Climate Survey to present and recent past members. Please watch your email for a link to participate.

Calling all the good people and voters in Rutherford County. This is a winnable district. #election2024 Tennessee has never elected a Latino to the legislature. This immigrant could change that. tennbeat.com/p/tennessee-ha…
Thank you Dr. Tyson King-Meadows for visiting MTSU and giving the keynote address to the Pi Sigma Alpha Honor Society. He was a professor at MTSU two decades ago. Check out his book, one of best on voting rights, influenced by his work on the House Judiciary Committee years ago.
Today was my last day as president of @mwcps_tweets & I feel good about what we accomplished with @MPSAnet this year! The Women's Caucus is in good hands - J. Cherie Strahan, @AlbertsonB2, @k_stauffer, @KarenKedrowski, & Debra Leitner are going to be fantastic!
You know the @mwcps_tweets Lounge is the place to be when even @MPSAnet President-Elect & long-time Caucus member @C_Wolbrecht stops by to hang out! And right after she left, MPSA sent cupcakes 💜
The Lounge had so many femme folk this morning that we asked for more tables! @mwcps_tweets And @MPSAnet sent us cookies & brownies (there may be a few left if you come by soonish!)
Femme folk (inclusively defined) coming to #MPSA2024: the Lounge will be open starting Thursday! If the Palmer House gauntlet (aka lobby) isn't your thing, plan to come by the Women’s Caucus Lounge for a respite: Crest Hill Rm. 3rd floor. @mwcps_tweets
