OUR STORY
Founded in 1912
Founded in 1912, Tennessee State University ("TSU") is a comprehensive, urban, co-educational, land-grant institution in Nashville, Tennessee. The university has been served by eight presidents, including Dr. Glenda Baskin Glover, who was inducted as President in January 2013.
​
TWO CAMPUSES
Our Nashville home offers two locations—the 500-acre main campus nestles in a beautiful residential neighborhood along the Cumberland River, and the downtown Avon Williams campus sits near the center of Nashville’s business and government district.
​
AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL NORMAL SCHOOL
In 1909, the Tennessee State General Assembly created three normal schools, including the Agricultural and Industrial Normal School, which would grow to become TSU. The first 247 students began their academic careers on June 19, 1912, and William Jasper Hale served as head of the school. Students, faculty, and staff worked together as a family to keep the institution operating, whether the activity demanded clearing rocks, harvesting crops, or carrying chairs from class to class.
