We just concluded another successful Homecoming. This year's theme was "Recharging the Blue for a Brighter TSU". I hope that many of you were able to participate in some of our Homecoming activities with your son or daughter and experience our love for Big Blue.

Final class assignments will be due and final exams will be upon them in less than six weeks.
