Hale Woodruff's Murals from Talladega College
January 11, 2021
Fellow Talladegans and friends,
Thank you! This past year was difficult for many of us. Even though I look back noting the hardships and losses, this year was also characterized by the extraordinary resilience that marks us as ‘Degans and that gives us reasons for celebrations and hope. I am optimistic about the future of our alma mater and our association. For all of us I hope that 2021 will be a healthy, safe, and happy year.
As a factual indicator of my confidence, we can celebrate that alumni and friends donated more than $100,000 to the 2020 Legacy Fund Campaign. We did it! Our Legacy Fund chair, Dr. Eugene Cain, expressed confidence that our alumni had this capacity. I thank Eugene, his committee, and each of you for this achievement.
The 103rd Alumni Weekend Celebration
will be held August 14-16, 2020
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Triennial XVI has been postponed until the Summer of 2021.
