Highlights from 2009 Fall Commencement

Tennessee State University celebrated its 2009 Fall Commencement on Dec. 18 awarding degrees to more than 400 graduates.

Students from the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, College of Health Sciences and School of Graduate Studies made up over half of all fall graduates. As they depart from TSU as graduates, they are prepared to continue educational studies toward advanced degrees and find success in entering the global workforce.

The 2009 Fall Commencement at TSU marked the institution’s 98th year and proved to be evidence of a continued tradition of excellence in lifelong learning. Judge Monte Watkins, a 1970 graduate of Tennessee State University, delivered the commencement address. The legendary Coach Edward Stanley Temple was honored as the recipient of the Doctor of Humane Letters.
