Despite all that our campuses have faced, I believe we are stronger, more versatile, thoughtful, and aware than ever before. As you will see throughout this report, TICUA member institutions are succeeding in preparing the next generation of leaders for the challenges of today and tomorrow. Now more than ever, we see the value of a liberal arts education in developing problem solvers, critical thinkers, and moral leaders. TICUA remains a committed partner in our state’s higher education system to mold and educate these future leaders. TICUA member institutions continue to award more degrees than any other higher education system in the state and graduate students at faster rates. This ultimately saves the Tennessee taxpayer money and contributes greatly to our state’s workforce and economy. But as we look ahead, we also are taking time to reflect on our past. We introduced the TICUA Hall of Fame in 2020 and it could not have come at a better time. The alumni selected for the Class of 2020 are a perfect example of the impact our institutions can have on students and society.
