Dear Tiger Alumni & Friends,
Greetings! My name is Kae Shakir, Class of 1999. I am most honored to have been selected as the Director of Alumni Relations. As a fellow TSU alumna, I look forward to seeing old and new faces at future events on and off campus. As we begin our 60th year of “Excellence in Achievement”, we anticipate a positive year for the University. I am looking forward to spending time with outstanding alumni and supporters like you. This year the Office of Alumni Relations will initiate programs and sponsor events that will positively impact the University and actively involve our alumni and friends of the University.
As an alumnae, I am proud to be associated with an institution with such a rich history. TSU encourages students from all walks of life to pursue their dreams. The incoming freshmen class is an eager group, ready to take on the challenges of a new environment, new friends, and the pursuit of excellence. Four years from now, I want them to be proud and look forward to joining the ranks of you and I as TSU alumni.
The Office of Alumni Relations is implementing a new departmental initiative called “Bringing Back the Yard”. For those of you who know and love this University you know “The Yard” is not just a place. It is not just the section of trees, benches, and cement located in front of the Student Center. It’s a state of mind. It’s the desire to positively represent TSU, not just on campus, but out in the real world. It’s the drive and desire to make the university experience a wonderful time for every student, alumni, faculty, staff and friends of TSU. It’s having the determination to not only excel academically, but professionally and socially. It’s having the creativity and ingenuity to make every event, activity, or program the best the university has ever held. It’s seeing the valuable resource and potential all around us. It is taking pride in the institution and name of Texas Southern University and we need your support!
What better way to show that you are a proud TSU alumnus than by contributing to the Office of Alumni Relations and supporting our new programs and events. By doing so, your gift communicates that you are passionate about the welfare of the University, and committed to ensuring its continued progress . Your gift will also have an immediate impact on the University and our student’s quality of life and financial resources.
I encourage you to support the “Bring Back the Yard” initiative. For more information, please call the TSU Office of Alumni Relations at (713) 313- 1363 or visit www.tsu.edu and click on Office of Alumni Relations. Your contributions are tax deductible. The Office and our entire student body thanks you in advance for your support and participation.
I look forward to seeing you during Homecoming week, October 7-13. Tiger Pride Always!
Kae Shakir
Director of Alumni Relations
