THE UNIVERSITY MISSION PRESIDENT’S2 MESSAGE The President’s Message The last decade has been a turbulent time for higher education. The work of colleges and universities has been reshaped by the increased use of technology and the changing demographics of the students served. However, these are but two of the forces that have had an impact on delivering post-secondary education and the advancement of our institutions. Needless to say, the pressures of an uncertain economy and the attendant decline in public and private support have a dramatic impact on access to higher education for those with the greatest need for financial assistance… the vast majority of students served by Huston-Tillotson University.

Despite these conditions of change, uncertainty and shifting priorities, Huston- Tillotson University has made significant progress on a number of fronts central to its mission. During this period, the University has strengthened its faculty and academic offerings, steadily increased its student enrollment, and begun execution of a master plan to meet the needs of the community for years to come. It is with the support of alumni, our religious affiliations, and corporate and individual friends that these advancements have been made possible. This ten-year report will highlight the contributions of those who have helped raise the University’s profile and capacity to serve.

Huston-Tillotson has met with challenges since its beginning. It will continue to face the present pressures and serve its noble mission with distinction. More importantly, its graduates will assume positions of leadership with the values central to an HT Education.

I thank you for your support of the University during this ten-year period and invite you to review this report to learn more about Austin’s oldest institution of higher learning.

Sincerely,

Larry L. Earvin, Ph. D. President and Chief Executive Officer PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 3
