The Honors Convocation is the annual celebration of distinguished undergraduates from all University disciplines.

We will recognize top graduating Honors seniors, outstanding members of honor societies, Dean’s List students, and President’s List students with cumulative grade point averages of 4.0. Over 3,000 students will be honored for their outstanding academic achievement and academic success. They will be celebrated by the President, Vice Presidents, Deans, Faculty, staff, distinguished guests, alumni, parents, and our virtual audience. We would like to invite you to be one of our honored sponsors for this auspicious occasion.

The Annual Honors Convocation brings together the University and the Nashville community to celebrate undergraduate scholarship. We are delighted to announce that our TSU Honors alumnus, Dr. Eddie Cole, will be our Convocation speaker. Dr. Cole is an Associate Professor of Higher Education and Organizational Change at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). He is the author of the multi-award-winning book, The Campus Color line: College Presidents and the Struggle for Black Freedom. We would like to give you an opportunity to partner with us in celebrating the best and brightest students at TSU who are filled with the hopes and dreams of making a difference in their careers to impact the world.
