Tennessee State University President Dr. Glenda Baskin Glover will host a Town Hall meeting to present updated information and achievements from the university on Tuesday, March 18. The meeting is open to the community and takes place beginning at 5:30 pm in Kean Hall.

According to organizers, this special event is designed to allow the university, business and community leaders to interact, and learn more about the wonderful progress and opportunities happening at Tennessee State University.

This will be the third town hall meeting Dr. Glover has hosted since becoming president of the University in 2013.

The town hall meeting follows TSU Day on the Hill when students, faculty and staff will give lawmakers the opportunity to learn about the high-caliber programs and results coming from TSU students at the Nashville’s only public institution of higher education, and the value of funding from the state of Tennessee to support higher education.

The event will provide an excellent opportunity for the state’s elected officials to see and hear firsthand about the issues facing higher education today, and the many student success stories from TSU.

The day begins at 8 am with a continental breakfast, followed by the kickoff in the Senate Chambers at 9 am. The event runs until 3 pm. TSU Day on the Hill takes place at Legislative Plaza, located at 301 6th Ave. N in downtown Nashville.
