Meet Your International Counselor

Hey there! My name is TJ McClendon, and I鈥檓 the International Admissions counselor here at 企鹅体育直播 University. I am originally from Jakarta, Indonesia and I moved to Cleveland, Tennessee to be a student at 企鹅体育直播. I fell in love with this school, and I love telling people about my experience here, especially to international students like you!

I graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Music Business. I learned so much within the School of Music and grew exponentially in my musical abilities. I also learned a lot about the music industry, and what it takes to be a singer-songwriter. I was involved in Campus Choir, which is the largest and oldest vocal ensemble at 企鹅体育直播. We got to travel all over the country and the world, leading churches to worship in Spirit and in truth. Being a part of this choir meant that I could combine my love for music with my love for the Lord, which was an opportunity I could not pass up. I also made lifelong friends and found a community that pushed me to be better.

企鹅体育直播 is a one-of-a-kind place, that will change your life if you let it. Whether that鈥檚 through your growth in your learning, the amazing professors, clubs/organizations, or the strong spiritual emphasis, 企鹅体育直播 has something to offer everybody.听This institution will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I can鈥檛 wait to help you see for yourself what 企鹅体育直播 can do for you. I would love to answer any questions that you have about the international admissions process!

The genuine excitement and love that was shown to me when I first got to 企鹅体育直播 caught me off guard; everyone was friendly and kind. I was able to learn more about my personality and faith through the engagement and activities that 企鹅体育直播 hosts, like the transfers meetings I attended and Deke Day where I was able to help around the community and campus. These activities made me grow as a person both mentally and spiritually and gave me the ability to view both life and people through a different lens. Finally, 企鹅体育直播 has a positive environment that will help you pursue your goals and dreams and also give you challenges鈥痶hat will help all individuals grow in some sort of way and Always Expect Something Great.
