The 102nd Alumni Weekend Celebration
May 2-5, 2019
August 19, 2019
Fellow Talladegans and friends,
I recently attended a retreat that addressed issues related to identifying and nurturing potential donors. The facilitator emphasized the importance of having a clear statement of your value proposition—what sets you apart from your competition—and having a message that articulates it to your targeted supporter. In reviewing several articles that referenced Talladega College I found one article that gives a succinct presentation of our value proposition. Paraphrasing the July 26, 2019 edition of Kiplinger’s Financial Report we can state that Talladega College, Alabama's oldest private historically black liberal arts college, has a sticker price before aid that is among the 10 lowest for all of our schools.
