“Attending Tennessee State University was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. It gave me one of the most well rounded educational experiences that anyone could ever ask. I strongly believe that the School of Engineering as it was called “back in the day”, prepared me for any corporate challenge that I encountered. I am truly indebted to the TSU CoETCS for all the doors that it opened for me then and even today.”

“Supporting the Engineering Endowment is vital to the success of future students as well as the TSU CoETCS. If you have not been involved, I ask you to reflect on the doors that Tennessee State University has opened for you. Reflect on where you were then and where you are now. If, Tennessee State University played a role in your advancement, then I think you should consider supporting the engineering endowment in any manner that you can. You will find it rewarding once you see the fruits that it will bear in the near future. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work on the establishment of the engineering endowment. I look forward to continuing the work that has been started by the TSU Engineering Alumni Association. I am True Blue forever!”
