The University recorded significant growth regarding its Access and Diversity goal, consistent with the President’s vision of inclusion. For example, we saw during the year an increase in the number of adult students. We also saw an increase in the number of Hispanic, Asian, and Native American students on campus. The establishment and operation of the Office of Diversity and International Affairs, in line with the Strategic Plan, has been a critical factor for the growth. The university has committed to expanding distance education. 100 more technology-based courses were added and 450 more students were served as compared to FY 2012. TSU also witnessed an increase in the number of students transferring to the institution by 6.7% in FY 2013.

Business-Friendly Practices Level of Academic Challenge (LAC)
Interpretation: For AY 2012, first year students at TSU appear to find their institution as slightly more engaging than the first year students at the peer institutions when referencing the Level of Academic Challenge. This finding is slightly less true for seniors.
Active and Collaborative Learning (ACL)
Interpretation: For AY 2012, first year students rate TSU much higher than their peer institutions on Active & Collaborative Learning. The TSU average mean rating for this benchmark ranks them among the top 50% of their peer institutions. For TSU seniors, they also find their Active & Collaborative Learning experiences more engaging than students at the peer institutions.
Student Faculty Interaction (SFI)
Interpretation: For AY 2012, first year students at TSU found that the Student-Faculty Interactions are much more engaging than first year students at the peer institutions. The senior year students also rated TSU as slightly more engaging on this criterion.
Enriching Educational Experiences (EEE)
Interpretation: For AY 2012, first year students rated TSU as providing similar but slightly higher levels of Enriching Educational Experiences as those found at the peer institutions. The seniors at TSU and the seniors at the Southeast Public Universities gave this criterion a nearly identical average rating (39.4 and 39.8).
Supportive Campus Environment (SCE)
Interpretation: For AY 2012, both first year students and seniors rated TSU with lower average means than their peers for the criterion- Supportive Campus Environment. The effect size was computed for the mean differences and resulted in a negative sign. This item may warrant more attention.
Summary:
First year students at TSU rated the institution more favorably than senior year students on four out of five criteria (LAC, ACL, SFI and EEE). The ratings given by the senior year students presented a mixed review. A higher than average mean rating was found on two criteria (ACL, SFI) and two other criteria received a lower than average mean rating by TSU seniors (LAC,SCE). The seniors’ rating of the criteria- Enriching Educational Experience was found to be comparable (39.4; 39.8) to the ratings given by their peers at other Southeast Public Universities. 8 • Page

Engagement A. Community Service Engagement
The University received the President’s Honor Roll designation for the fifth year in a row, and the Gold Level Involved Award in the Mayor’s Workplace Challenge. Additionally, TSU was one of three universities selected for a national webinar to present on best practices for obtaining Carnegie Community Engaged Classification. The webinar was hosted by the Eastern Region Campus Compact and presented at the Webinar Panel on Carnegie Classification Peer Development Network. During the year, the Center for Service Learning and Civic Engagement also devoted its attention to the development and organization of UNIV 1000 Freshman Orientation courses, along with grant program implementation. The experiences from UNIV 1000 were shared at a national conference on service learning held in Denver, Colorado. The presentation titled: “Making real-world change: A model for integrating and assessing service learning opportunities in the curriculum through the first year experience,” was well received by conference participants.
B. International Engagement
There were significant increases in international engagement this year. With full-time staff designated to work with study abroad and international student services, the recruitment of students for programs and the involvement of faculty in planning for international education was enhanced. In 2012-2013, faculty-led student groups were funded for student abroad programs and some were groups involved in service-learning as well as the traditional classes for academic credit. Programming, such as study abroad fairs, speakers to discuss traveling abroad, and international groups visiting the campus, provided more encouragement for TSU students to consider studying abroad. Also, current international students were challenged to recruit friends and family from their countries to enroll as students. The focus on more intentional recruitment and the studentfriendly atmosphere of the new office and its improved processes are largely responsible for the increase in international engagement.
C. Land-grant Engagement and Regional Economic Impact
The total direct economic impact of outreach education and community engagement through the TSU Extension educators totaled 280,616 for fiscal year 2013. This is a 3.3% increase compared to the total of direct extension contacts (271,676) the previous fiscal year. Additionally, extension services increased 34 to 40 counties in Tennessee in FY 2013. The direct contacts encompass three educational extension areas: Agriculture and Natural Resources community (including farmers) with 80,958 contacts; Family and Consumer Sciences with 39,365 contacts and 4-H Clubs and Youth Development with 160,293 contacts. The Economic Impact of Tennessee State University on the State of Tennessee is conducted by the Office of Business and Economic Research, College of Business and Tennessee State University every 3 - 5 years. Based on the most recent Economic Impact study, TSU generated $615 million in total impact on the State of Tennessee. Tennessee State University directly injects approximately $330 million into the State’s economy and indirectly induced impacts total another $285 million. Every dollar directly expended included additional spending of approximately 84 cents. 12 • Page
University Strategic Planning Council The University Strategic Planning Council (USPC) coordinates and monitors the development and implementation of the University Strategic Plan (USP), and makes recommendations to the President and Cabinet related to strategic priorities. USPC provides annual report summaries highlighting campus progress to the President, focusing on implementation and achievement of strategic planning goals. Specific functions include coordination and monitoring of development of strategic plans by campus units for reaching USP goals; and review and compilation of annual reports submitted by vice presidents and unit heads in Compliance Assist on the progress-to-date of their units towards meeting the goals and objectives of the USP. The Council prepares and submits an Annual Campus Report Card each fiscal year to the President, and subsequently, to the campus community that highlights campus progress on USP’s key performance indicators. USPC consists of members drawn from a cross-section of the campus community who serve on the committee on the basis of their roles.
