MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (Aug. 5, 2002) – Milligan College welcomes two new employees to the campus community: Troy Anderson, senior admissions counselor and coordinator of multicultural recruitment, and Danielle Booth, director of student life and resident director.
Anderson is a 1994 graduate of East Tennessee State University, where he earned a degree in marketing.

Anderson is a native of the Knoxville area and currently resides in north Johnson City with his wife and two children. He is active at New Covenant Family Church, serving as a deacon and director of the college-age ministry.
“We are excited about Troy’s addition to the admissions counseling staff. He will manage a traditional admissions territory and will also work with multicultural student recruitment which is an exciting new effort for Milligan,” said David Mee, vice president for enrollment management at Milligan. “We included this important issue in our strategic planning, and Troy’s appointment moves us another step closer to meeting key goals in the area of student diversity.”
Booth is a 1994 graduate of the University of Nevada at Reno, where she received her bachelor of science degree. She also received a master of science of social work at the University of Louisville in 1996.
