TSU students enter college with aspirations to graduate with marketable skills. And the University takes every measure to help make that happen. The result? Graduates who are fully-equipped for today’s 21st century workforce. The secret to their success is two-fold: self-determination — evidenced by the numerous scholarships that have been awarded to students over the past year, and motivation — evidenced by an increase in student retention rates. Upon graduation, TSU alumni are ready to face the world.
Extraordinary research has the power to change everyday lives. As a university committed to serving urban populations, we promote research that addresses health disparities. From the College of Science and Technology to the Barbara JordanMickey Leland School of Public Affairs, our professors and students devote thought and energy to solving issues that improve the quality of human life. We are confident that ultimately, their scholarship will aid in helping to reduce health disparities. With concerted effort, we’re making strides to improve the quality of life for urban communities.
We inspire students to think bigger. As a result, they realize the value of a TSU education: an experience that prepares them to meet the needs of the 21st century workforce. Through its programs and partnerships, the University is rapidly becoming a major contributor to the economy of the Houston Metropolitan region. Whether the work takes place at the Port of Houston Authority, here on campus, or in the community, our focus on preparing alumni for the job market has had a major impact on regional economic development.
At the heart of Texas Southern University is a mission to prepare students not only for success, but also to serve in their communities. With each graduating class, a new wave of TSU alumni becomes a force for positive change. From campus organizations to individual efforts, our students are cognizant that they are part of a legacy of activism. As communityfocused leaders, they’re determined to give back to their communities. Here on campus and far beyond, TSU alumni are agents of change.
