For as far back as we can remember, our Tiger mascot has not had a name. He has been called the “Tiger”, or “TU Tiger”, or “Golden Tiger”, or even “Hey You in the Suit”. But now the wheels are turning to find our Tiger a name. So, a naming contest was held that allowed students, faculty, staff, alumni, and fans to suggest possible names for our feisty golden mascot.

What’s new on the first day of class
It’s the first day of class–the beginning of the semester–and the start of new friendships. Some students show off their new clothes that they bought over the summer. Some have new hair styles, or new “do’s” that they want to show off. Will that guy who sits in the third row have a new haircut?

Did I get all the books […]
A Tiger Who Roars
Morgan Sinclaire Screws, (2017-2018) 1st Attendant to Miss Tuskegee University, continues to define that one doesn’t always have to win the title, to make a difference. Over the past few weeks, we saw three different events Screws hosted for not only the campus, but also the Tuskegee community. The first event was movie night on Logan Hall Lawn entitled, “A ROARING Night at the Movies”, paid homage to old Tuskegee. Students were invited to watch Sleepless starring Jamie Foxx and T.I. Screws along with other Royal court members served free concessions for students to snack on during the showing. […]

Known for its paramount programs, Tuskegee Institute has produced the nation’s top engineers, behavioral health experts, agriculture specialist and health professionals. I had the opportunity to catch up with four recent graduates who took up various disciplines. Though from different walks of life and stages post-graduation, each graduate gives credit to Tuskegee for making […]
Yara Shadidi and Malia Obama: Selling out, or Doing Their Due Diligence
Image via: Tumblr In a time within the realm of pop culture, where it seems as though the prime focus is either who’s dating who’ and who is at odd with each other, a breath of exciting fresh air came along, especially within the African American community, when Yara Shididi of ABC’s Blackish, and the former First Daughter, Malia Obama, announced their decisions’ to attend Harvard University, most, if not all supporters assumed that due to the fact that Yara Shididi is an actress on such an apologetically empowering show to Black families, and that Malia Obama being the […]
The Traveler’s Among Us
