Dear Parents & Families,

It is with great pleasure that I am able to extend a warm welcome to you! At TSU, our relationship with our parents & families is very important and we want to build and cultivate that relationship as much as we can.

This guide is another resource that will better equip you throughout the year with providing your child information that is critical to their success at the university. It is not uncommon for students to call their parents during their first year of college when they face challenges or obstacles.

There are contact numbers and website resources that will provide you with the information that you will need to offer that support to your child. There are also local resources that will be helpful for you throughout the year such as area hotels and attractions. We hope that you will utilize this resource to make travel arrangements when visiting your child throughout the year at Homecoming or other campus events.

In addition to our guide, parents can always utilize our website. The website is a great resource that provides additional information to help your family, as well as your child, make a smooth transition into college life. It also has additional contact information about support services available to our students. We strongly encourage you to utilize the website and to contact us via email at or by phone. 

Thank you for supporting your child’s decision to attend Tennessee State University. We look forward to building our relationship to create a strong partnership that will enable him to be successful at the university.

With Big Blue Pride,
Tiffany Bellafant Steward
