Spring is a valuable time for Tougaloo College. We are using this season to become even more resourceful in our engagement with one another. As we continue to
preserve and advance excellence,
we are using every available tool to remain connected to our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends. We are focused, excited and motivated during this time of reflection and change.
In the spirit of staying connected, Tougaloo will host its first Virtual Town Hall Meeting Thursday, April 23, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.
