People ~ Pride ~
Privilege
People are the driving force
of Tougaloo College. As a member of the Tougaloo College
National Alumni Association, your ideas and input can play a
dominant role in the growth and development of your Alma Mater.
Pride in Tougaloo College can
inspire Alumni to stay connected to TC through the Alumni
Association.
Privilege of Alumni
Association Membership can remind alumni that they are one of the
College's greatest assets, and that they are appreciated. It
also provides the privilege to vote on issues and programs
relative to TCNAA.
Timing Is Everything
I gave at the office...I think?
Alumni often wonder why they are asked to pay Alumni Association
dues despite having contributed to the Tougaloo College fund
raising campaign. While your contributions are vitally
important to Tougaloo College, your TCNAA dues help support those
programs sponsored by TCNAA and the college (they enhance each
other ).
Alumni Association membership dues go directly to support the
programs described below [in the membership application
brochure]. These programs are designed to serve alumni by
keeping them in touch with Tougaloo College and to serve the
College by representing the more than 5000 alumni who have a stake
in the success of our Alma Mater. Our hope is that you will
choose to be a dues-paying member of the Alumni Association and
that you will also provide financial support through the College's
fund-raising appeals. Don't missy our opportunity to be a
part of this winning combination.
Alumni Publication (TAB)
Periodically the Tougaloo Alumni Bulletin brings Tougaloo College
to your doorstep. Alive with the latest happenings on campus
and feature articles of alumni throughout the world, TAB helps
alumni to maintain their Tougaloo College connection.
Alumni Chapters
Alumni Chapter network includes chapters throughout the United
States. Operated by local volunteers, the chapters offers
members the opportunity to socialize and interact with fellow
alumni. In addition, alumni chapters play a vital role in
supporting the College by assisting in recruitment efforts and
fund-raising.
College Concert Choir
The Association provides support for the Tougaloo College concert
choir tours.
Pre-Alumni Council
TCNAA supports the Tougaloo College Pre-Alumni Council's
programs. These programs work to foster good relations
between students and the alumni and to introduce students to the
Alumni Association. Some of the major supports to the
Council are; attendance at UNCF regional and national
conferences, and helping to organize and implement the Miss
Tougaloo UNCF Pagent. The queen represents the College at
the National UNCF Conference and participates in the Lou Rawls
Tele-Thon.
Class Reunions and Commencement
Activities
Class Reunions and Alumni Activities during commencement weekend
are favorites among alumni. Planning committees comprise of
reunion class members from each class work with TCNAA to organize
and to implement these activities (including the State of the
College Luncheon and the Annual Alumni Banquet).
Alumni Hall of Fame
The Association sponsors the induction of outstanding alumni into
the TCNAA Hall of Fame annually.
TCNAA Regions
The Association helps to organize and implement regional programs,
i.e., conferences, etc.

The Association's scholarship fund supports Tougaloo College
students by underwriting necessary expenses.

Don't delay! The Time
is NOW!
