MTSU Renames Media College In Honor Of Scott Borchetta

Middle Tennessee State University has renamed its world-renowned College of Media and Entertainment in honor of Founder, Chairman & CEO of Big Machine Label Group, Scott Borchetta. Effective today (August 26), the college is now called the Scott Borchetta College of Media and Entertainment.

“I can’t overestimate how important this is to the life and history of the college,” said Media and Entertainment Dean Beverly Keel, a former record label executive herself. “This propels us to international acclaim because Scott’s name is recognized and respected around the world. By partnering with Scott, we are exposing our students to cutting-edge ideas and perspectives.

“Because of Scott’s contributions, we have been able to make the upgrades you see in this building, create new student scholarship, and take students to the GRAMMYs, an esports conference and Bonnaroo,” Keel added. “Scott has made it possible for the College to hire a strategic communications specialist and sponsor the Southern Oasis Film Festival for students and our MT Imagine showcase for digital animation students. And these are just a few of the wonderful student and college opportunities that Scott has made possible.”
