Each October, Tougaloo College commemorates its founding with a campus-wide celebration. This year’s theme, “The Revitalization of the Black Church and Social Justice,” is significant because it highlights the 120th Anniversary of our historic Woodworth Chapel that was central to the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement and changing the landscape of this state. It also centers our continued thoughts and conversations and directs our actions toward advancing social justice. So please join us as we recognize this historic commitment and celebrate our legacy with a full week of festivities featuring the:

• 60th anniversary of the Tougaloo Nine
• Student Government Association Officers’ Installation Ceremony
• Presidential Distinguished Lecture Series
• Coronation of Miss and Mister Tougaloo College
• Annual High School Day
• A celebration honoring the Silver Classes of 1995 and 1996; Golden Classes of 1970, 1971
• Annual Alumni Outing
• Dedication of the Earl Sanders Baseball Field
• 152nd Founders’ Convocation
• Two Rivers Black-Tie Celebration
