Tennessee State University continues to shine as a premier Homecoming destination with beautiful people basking in good vibes in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee.
Known for its passionate alumni, world-famous marching band (The Aristocrat Of Sound), and quality programs, TSU stands out in a region bustling with impressive institutions.
According to its site, the “high research” institution “strives for excellence in programming, offerings, and community engagement” while offering 77 majors and an engaging student life.
Founded in 1912 as the Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School, the comprehensive, urban, co-educational, land-grant university has two locations—the 500-acre main campus in a residential neighborhood along the Cumberland River and the downtown Avon Williams campus near the center of Nashville’s business and government district.
This year, TSU welcomed ESPN’s First Take to campus for a live broadcast during their Homecoming week festivities.
“When COVID-19 hit, followed by the death of George Floyd, the company experienced a significant shift,” said ESPN in a statement to TSU.
“Disney began to focus on programming that truly embraced authenticity and change. From that effort emerged initiatives like Disney on the Yard, Drum Major Mickey, and a dedicated focus on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).”
Notable alumni of the storied institution include Oprah Winfrey, Xernona Clayton, Bobby Jones, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Richard Dent, Wilma Rudolph, and more.
