There are so many wonderful achievements to report that I will send an update out to you in the upcoming weeks. This year, hundreds of students graduated from TSU, joining the honorable ranks of our dynamic alumni base and like many of you, they will remain involved in the life of the institution by giving of their financial resources and time as mentors to our students. Some of them will also become volunteers .and continue advancing the University’s mission. I am grateful that so many of you continue to participate in the President’s Challenge. Your participation has allowed us to increase the number of scholarships offered to our deserving students, and thereby assist them in achieving their academic goals. Many of our students are first generation students and come from households where parent(s) were unable to provide sufficiently for their education. Your gifts have made a world of difference in the lives of many of our students. I take this opportunity to say an exhilarating “thank you” to each one of you for your contribution towards this remarkable cause. We could not have done any of it without your support.
