The
Battle Greatness for
November 1-3, 2013 Founders’ Day Celebration
A MessAge FroM The PresidenT Dear TC Alumni, The Founders’ Weekend will soon be upon us and we are working to ensure the success of another exceptional celebration on Battle Street. Talladega College will soon be celebrating the 146th year since its’ founding; this in itself is a prestigious milestone! As the Battle for Educational Excellence continues on a daily basis, the roots of the College run historically deep from its founding in November 1867. Our goals have not changed for the last five years and your partnership is tantamount as we ascend to even greater successes. We are moving forward and upward to promote Talladega College on a national level through the Hale Woodruff Rising Up Mural tour of the United States. Rave reviews were given by The New York Times and the accolade list is growing daily with the promise of more to come in the future. And, there is much more to look forward to in continuing the legacy of Talladega College. This year, as you return to the College and recognize its’ founding, we want to genuinely thank the returning alumni for your profound dedication and love for your Alma Mater. The theme for the Founders’ Weekend centers on “The Battle for Greatness” and promises to be in the grand spirit of Talladega College. I invite you to join us for the celebration as we honor “Dear Ole ‘Dega!” Sincerely,
Billy C. Hawkins, Ph.D. President
