a renaissance is a rebirth or revival, not only of classical learning, but of achievements, goals, and strivings for higher ideals. Those in the midst of a renaissance commit to being great in their time, often surpassing their former accom-plishments. texas Southern university, then, is boldly and proudly in the midst of a renaissance of excellence.

european nations enjoyed a renaissance in the 1500s so powerful that it lifted them out of the Dark ages. In this country, the 1920s and 30s brought to a once obscure sec-tion of new York a revival of art, dance, and literature, as well as social and political action so strong that it was cel-ebrated as the Harlem renaissance. and closer to home, on the campus of texas Southern university, there exists a rebirth of academic excellence, a revival of cutting-edge educational programming, and a resurrection of campus initiatives that combine to offer all university stakeholders a tangible piece of our modern day renaissance.

This rebirth was evidenced in 2010 by texas Southern university, its students, faculty, staff and alumni, showcas-ing an expansion of academic offerings, student support services, alumni involvement, and groundbreaking col-laborations.

This revival is bringing new life to campus in the form of the urban academic Village, a freshman and sophomore enhancement program aimed at increasing retention and graduation rates, and funded by Houston endowment through a $2.74 million grant. as well, the university’s facilities master plan, led by our executive director of build-ings and grounds Darrell Bunch, has been initiated to create a campus that supports student learning and is a welcom-ing and inviting location for students, alumni, and visitors.

This renewal has taken tangible form in persons of I’sis Green, a sophomore early childhood bilingual education major, and alfonso arteaga, a junior physics/maritime transportation double major. These two dynamic student leaders possess such a well-rounded trove of skills and passions that their impact can be felt in classrooms and boardrooms, as well as ballrooms.

The university’s resurrection of academic excellence has moved from idea to action through the work of count-less faculty members performing research critical to the

great issues and challenges of our time. Dr. Huan Xie, for example, is breaking new ground in the world of cancer drug delivery systems through nano-technology, joining many of her colleagues committed to making a difference in academia and the “real world.”

Moreover, alumni such as Harry e. Johnson, Frazier Wil-son, and noreen Khan-Mayberry are making a profound impact in our nation’s capitol, overseas and into the galac-tic stratosphere.

Still, as the iconic Harlem renaissance intellectual scholar/activist Dr. W.e.B. DuBois once said, “now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. today is the seed time; now are the hours of work; and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.”

We celebrate with great pride our multiple expressions of excellence renewed. Their presence sends a powerful message of the ongoing path texas Southern university continues to forge toward the goal of becoming one of the nation’s premier urban-serving institutions of higher edu-cation. Yet, we are not content to rest on our laurels.

as excited as we are about the renaissance of excel-lence that we are currently enjoying, members of the tSu community, to a person, are even more excited about the renaissance to come. every facet of university operations reflected our growth in 2010. This FY 2010 annual report expounds upon the many initiatives at texas Southern that have met and even surpassed the high standards of years past. It is this commitment to persistently strive to improve our academic offerings, student support systems, campus environment and overall standing in the community that continues to attract top students, faculty, staff, alumni and community partners to our institution. With the com-mitment and hard work of everyone at texas Southern university, we are confident that today’s renaissance of excellence will reverberate for generations to come.

i will never limit myself as to what I can do,” says sophomore I’sis Green.

“TSU offers so many opportunities, and they’re meant taken advantage of.”

Hailing from San Francisco, Green feels quite at home in the Bayou City after

personally being recruited to Texas Southern by President John Rudley. Once on

campus, she found confirmation in Dr. Rudley’s assurances that she would receive

the full amount of academic and financial support needed to achieve her goals.

“tSu has provided me with so many ways to grow academically and personally,” the early Childhood Bilingual education major shares. “It’s a place that has allowed me to explore my full potential.”

and explore she does: Green is currently Vice president of external affairs of the Thomas F. Freeman Honors College, a member of the university’s Step program, a new member of the national Society of Collegiate Scholars/lead now Initiative, Sophomore Class Queen and president of tSu’s new chapter of phi eta Sigma national Honors Society.

“I choose to get involved in school because I want to give back to my community,” Green shares. as if being extremely active on campus isn’t enough, she also manages to find time to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity.

The aspiring future principal and motivational speaker has had to deal with her share of challenges, including being raised in a low-income neighborhood by her mother after Green’s father was killed when she was just 12 years old. But through her trials, Green has emerged as a person who loves life and making a difference in the lives of others. after obtaining her undergraduate degree, she plans to teach while pursuing her master’s while en route to her ultimate goal of obtaining a ph.D.

“What I enjoy most about tSu is the fact that I am able to be involved in so many aspects of its growth. I love that I am a part of the change and that I am given opportunity to help create a better school,” Green shares. “I enjoy the pride that emerges as we are continuously achieving great things for this university.”

a good Prognosis for students

of the Health Professions

last november, texas Chiropractic College (tCC) and texas Southern university forged an academic partnership that will facilitate the admission and academic transfer of students from tSu to tCC. The partnership will ensure a seamless transition of students seeking to complete their Bachelor of Science degree from tSu while simultaneously pursuing a Doctor of Chiropractic degree through tCC. Future and current tSu students will be able to complete both degrees in six years, with the first three occurring at tSu and the final three at tCC.

and by extending our health sciences programs to the texas Medical Center, students of the health professions will gain access to new opportunities in their chosen fields. our newly formed partner-ship with Houston Community College (HCC) will soon facilitate the transfer of pharmacy tech students from HCC into the College of pharmacy and Health Sciences.

a World of Opportunity at tsU Online

last year, several new online degree programs were launched, offering greater flexibility and opportunity to current and potential students:

• The online Masters in Public Administration (eMPA) degree program focuses on human resources, public policy, emergency management and non-profit management and administration.

• offered through the Business administration department, the online Master of Information Science (MIS) program’s mission is to train information systems professionals and man-agers to keep up with future demand in the field.

• The Online Executive MBA (eMBA) is the only program in Houston that explores relevant issues and challenges faced by management in the energy sector. The 36-hour online program is designed to meet the challenges of mid-career professionals who wish to pursue an MBa degree while balancing their busy professional and personal lives.

• The Master of Public Administration, and the online Master in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization in Bilingual education offer new possibilities for profession-als who plan to attain a graduate degree while maintaining their professional careers.

• The Department of administration of Justice in conjunc-tion with Wiley College now offers a Master of Science in Administration of Justice (MSAJ). The pilot program that began last fall will eventually accommodate 25-30 students via videoconferencing and online courses. The MSaJ is the first master’s degree to be offered at Wiley College located in Marshall, texas.

Houston endowment, the city of Houston’s pre-eminent philanthropic organization, recently awarded a $2.74 million grant to texas Southern university to conduct a pilot study of the university’s new urban academic Village. The freshman and sophomore enhance-ment program aims to increasing retention and improving graduation rates. The grant will cover $1 million in renovations for the residence halls and $1.74 million to develop and implement the academic enhancement and evaluation programs.

to be considered for participation in the urban academic Village, students must have met the university’s basic admissions requirements, be enrolled full time, and commit to participating in all enhancement and outreach activities throughout the first two years of the program.

as residents of the urban academic Village, approximately 1/3 of the 2011 freshman class will be closely tracked throughout their first year. The tracking will be used to compare these students to the rest of the freshman class at texas Southern to determine what adjustments, if any, should be made. With new resources in place to support their success, students of the program should be well equipped to adjust and handle the rigors of life in the urban academic Village. Through a three-pronged approach, the new program will provide students with educational sup-port that includes:

Houston endowment Provides support for Pilot Launch of Urban academic Village

eXPanded COMMOn areas

By redesigning an existing residence hall, tSu will increase the amount of space that is designated for student use, creating places where students may socialize with like-minded peers. In these newly expanded common areas, students of the urban academic Village will have the opportunity to share ideas and bond with their peers – students who are also committed to intellectual growth.

department of aviation science takes Off

By 2011, texas Southern’s Department of aviation Science will be home to the only university-based virtual airport in the nation. Students will have access to a new research library, as well as sev-eral labs where students can take courses in subjects ranging from airport management to aerospace engineering. The labs will allow students to receive training in the latest techniques in airport management, planning, operations and security. They’ll also be able to design and test “aircrafts” within a simulated wind tunnel.

In the summer of 2010, the business community, government, Boy Scouts of america and over five school districts in the greater Houston area launched a program within the aviation department that will exposed students to careers in airport management/operations, air traffic control, piloting and more. The vision of the program is to extend its operations to a year-round, after-school aviation enrichment program that supports science, technology, engineering and mathematics (SteM) initiatives.

Law school Library Honored

The Thurgood Marshall School of law was named one of the best law libraries in the nation according to the March 2010 issue of the National Jurist. ranking 31st out of 198, tMSl also has the distinction of being one of only two law schools in the state of texas to be recognized. Students of the law school have ben-efitted greatly from the library, which has likely played a part in the success of 75 percent of tMSl students who passed the 2010 texas Bar exam.

College of education receives High Marks

of the 10-certification fields of study offered in the Department of education, three have been reviewed by the appropriate profes-sional societies and awarded “recognized” status. These include early Childhood (eC-4 Generalist), 4-8 Social Studies, and 4-8 Science. The eC-12 Special education certification and the 4-8 mathematics are recognized with conditions. Future plans are to develop the reading Specialization and early Childhood special-ization as online programs beginning Fall 2011.

Dr. Lei Yu, Dean of the College of Science and technology recently

facilitated the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding

(MOU) between Texas Southern University (TSU) and Beijing

Jiaotong University (BJTU), Beijing. The MOU will bring these

two institutions together to jointly establish a Confucius Institute

at TSU. The Institute will provide an opportunity for TSU to

offer Chinese language curriculum and to increase the interna-

tional experiences of its students. The Confucius Institute will

be housed in the College of Liberal Art and Behavior Science

(COLABS), and include certain elements of Science Technology

Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in its curriculum.

texas Southern university has received a clean bill of health from the Southern association of Colleges and Schools (SaCS). of the great news, Dr. rudley commented, “This is significant for everyone studying and working at texas Southern, for alumni around the world and for potential students contemplating spending their college days at texas Southern. While our accreditation continued throughout the probation, the concern was also there about the impact it would have on our programs and our recruitment. Certainly as students make choices about where they will spend the next few years, this milestone adds perceived value to our programs and our degrees.

doctor Huan Xie, Assistant Professor, Pharmaceutic Science in the College of

Pharmacy and Health Sciences (COPHS) is a product of the big city, but has

made a name for herself professionally by discovering medical breakthroughs

in the smallest of things—nano-technology.

Growing up in Chongqing, a city in China, Xie poured herself into her studies, especially anything having to do with math and science.

“I wanted to be an astronaut,” Xie recalls with a laugh. Instead, she chose to major in chemistry at one of China’s top schools, Fudan university in Shanghai. after finishing first in her ph.D. program at north Carolina State university in raleigh, Xie had her pick of job offers across the country, but chose Houston for the cost of living, warm weather much like her hometown’s and its cosmopolitan feel.

“Houston is a big city. That’s where I feel most comfortable,” Xie shares. “I’m a big city girl.”

While many of Xie’s past research projects at nanoSpectra Biosciences focused on nano-drug delivery systems for cancer, the area to which she has dedicated her life’s work. But ultimately, Xie chose academia to pursue her other passion—teaching.

“I chose tSu because I have an interest in teach-ing and having more interaction with students,”

Xie says. “It also offered more research freedom. our College of pharmacy and Health Sciences is very competitive and offers more teaching oppor-tunities than other research universities.”

In addition to her work in the lab and the classroom, Xie is also on CopHS’s pharmacy admissions and academic Standards Committee and serves as faculty advisor for rho Chi, the national Honor Society for pharmacy students. Beyond the classroom, Xie is currently in collaboration with MD anderson, nanoSpectera, university of texas Health Science Center San antonio, uH, rice, louisiana tech, and the university of Hawaii.

In spite of a serious focus on her work and ancillary projects, Xie finds time to enjoy a variety of interests, including music, photography, the culinary art and international travel. “My husband and I have visited all of the national parks and plan to go to alaska this year,” she smiles.

Xie may not have become an astronaut, but no matter where she is or what she does, she continues to help take tSu to greater heights.

Alfonso Arteaga by blending his love for the Arts And engineering, this duAl mAJor in physics And mAritime trAnsportAtion is mAking wAves.

Hometown: San Luis Potosi, Mexico

Classification: Junior

extracurricular activities: President of the TSU Hispanic Students Association, teacher and leader of the TSU Latin Dance Club.14

Part of Texas Southern’s Renaissance is new, cutting-edge academic programs.

Alfonso Arteaga, a junior with a double major, seeks degrees in both the old

(physics) and the new (maritime transportation).

“ Maritime studies deal with logistics and security,” said Arteaga. “Physics I love because

it makes you understand how things work; it empowers you with problem solving

tools that can be applied to any area. For me, that area is security and logistics.”

arteaga, a native of San luis potosi, Mexico, was taking classes at HCC when his mother-in-law who teaches english at tSu, suggested he visit the campus. liking what he saw, arteaga trans-ferred with the intention of graduating and going to work for the port of Houston. What he did not plan on was becoming a living example of a tSu renaissance man.

arteaga’s commitment to academic excel-lence led him to seek a sponsor to assist him in attending an international conference to pres-ent a research paper. In the process, arteaga stumbled upon Dr. antonio Gonzalez, associate professor of english and Foreign languages (Spanish). not only did arteaga receive sup-port, he also received a call to student leadership from Dr. Gonzalez who was looking to revive the Hispanic Student association (HSa), which had been inactive since 2005.

“I think he saw that I had leadership qualities needed to run HSa,” said arteaga, who as presi-dent, now strives to initiate more campus diversity

while increasing Hispanic representation in tSu’s Student Government association.

Yet, being a leader of social change is not the only extracurricular activity on arteaga’s resume. He affects social change of a different kind as president of tSu’s latin Dance Club.

“We have about 20 members; a very diverse group — asians, Blacks, Hispanics” arteaga says of the club that focuses on salsa and argentine tango. “Dance is universal, and in the latin Dance Club that’s where we all come together.”

arteaga, says he never considered himself a renaissance Man, but remains passionate about his many talents and interests. Continuing to excel academically, arteaga leads the HSa and latin Dance club while cultivating his other passion of writing essays on cultural analysis and dance.

By blending together his love for the arts, science and social engineering, arteaga is a living example of Renaissance of Excellence.

title: Executive Director of Buildings and Grounds, Texas Southern University

Hometown: Vicksburg, MS

Passion: Using landscape architecture to create a greener campus.

18

although Executive Director of Buildings and Grounds Darrell Bunch has

only been with Texas Southern for two years, he brings nearly 20 years of

experience to the University. And this experience shows, as TSU is becoming

a greener, cleaner and more visibly stunning campus each and every day.

The Vicksburg, MS native came to the Houston area in 1988 after earning a degree in landscape architecture from Mississippi State university. He feels that his previous stops at prairie View a&M university, the university of Houston and in private industry prepared him for landing at tSu.

“My transition to tSu has been great,” says Bunch. “There is more of a family atmosphere here than at any other place I’ve worked. “at tSu, I get the sense that it’s about team effort.”

a pleasant working environment allows Bunch to pay closer attention to the details of our cam-pus that require beautification. Bunch is chiefly responsible for overseeing the university’s grounds maintenance, custodial services, the campus recy-cling program. He also manages tiger labor (inner-office deliveries and relocations) and tMa Dispatch, a service that processes all incoming calls to tSu requesting various on-campus services.

as the leader of his team, Bunch brings extensive experience in landscape design and construction, as well as a different perspective which he has utilized to first envision, then enact the landscaping changes behind the student center as well as the tierwester extreme makeover and street closing. The expanded

green space was developed to replace tierwester Street as tSu’s eastern border and ties into the university’s master plan for a greener, more student and pedestrian-friendly campus.

But despite the high-profile, wholesale changes of the tierwester project, Bunch says that his most rewarding landscape project was a much more obscure area of campus located on south side of the Student Center.

“I enjoyed most working on the Founder’s point project,” Bunch says of the small, thoughtfully landscaped of seating area. His efforts in this area will serve to foster unity among students, as each campus organization have their own designated benches arranged in a circular fashion to encour-age communication. It is a place where all students group members — from the Student Government association to Greek letter organizations — can connect.

In addition to creating an oasis for students, Bunch’s sharp eye for environmental beauty remains focused on the larger picture. He’s deter-mined to make sure that everyone who strolls the campus enjoys their surroundings and leaves with a renewed sense of pride.

Breaking ground

here on campus, visitors, students, faculty and staff have three brand new reasons to enjoy walking the grounds of Tsu:

With the addition of Founder’s point located directly behind the stu-dent center, students will have the opportunity to fraternize and relax in an outdoor space that has been created especially for them. and in an effort to join the campus into a more complete unit, the portion of tierwester Street in front of the Barbara Jordan-Mickey leland public affairs building has given way to green space – providing a safer and greener passage across campus. and last but not least, stu-dents of the College of Science and technology will soon enjoy a new, state-of-the-art building that will house more research facilities and classroom space in a brand new technology building scheduled to open in 2011.

We’ve got the Power

as the entire nation recognizes the importance of saving energy efficiency, tSu stays ahead of the curve, implementing new opportunities and vehicles for increasing our efficiency, both on campus and beyond.

texas Southern and texpo energy formed an exclu-sive partnership that will enable tSu alumni to support university programs and missions by enroll-ing for electricity service under a tSu tiger power

plan. under a tSu tiger power plan, texpo energy will donate a portion of each customer’s electricity usage to texas Southern university and its programs. The eligible service plans allow loyal tSu alumni and supporters to sign up both their homes and businesses throughout all deregulated service areas in texas, with no limits on the amount of the total annual donation per customer. The partnership will make competitive electricity plans and prices available to more than 100,000 tSu alumni, faculty and staff throughout the State of texas.

and through the College of Science and technology (CoSt), tSu and evolution Solar have partnered to install eight ampleSun thin-film photovoltaic panels on campus that will serve as the cornerstone of the new tSu Green technology Center. The project will be evolution Solar’s first effort to feature the ampleSun panels in the u.S.

Faculty-staff Fundraising Campaign a success

a significant milestone was achieved during this year’s 2010 Faculty and Staff annual Fundraising Campaign that raised more than $106,000 with 833 donors representing 69% employee participation. a total of 15 schools and depart-ments reached the 100% participation level. The average gift reported was $128 per employee with $37,144 designated toward university scholarships. Several employees, schools, and departments were recognized at a victory celebration for their support of the campaign. Director of Development Carolyn oliver acknowledges the success of the cam-paign. “It is an exciting time to be a part of texas Southern university” she says. “This just shows what we can do when we work together for the greater good.”

google goes to school

In July, the tSu campus hosted the apps education road team from Google, who were here to discuss the benefits of Google apps for education with other regional universities. “tSu hosting this event was a great opportunity,” expressed Billy rector, chief informa-tion officer at texas Southern. “Being one of the first universities in our region to successfully implement Google apps in a student community was historic.” Google apps education edition is a free web-based suite of hosted communication and collaboration applications designed for schools and universities and features services such as email (Gmail) and shared calendars (Google Calendar), as well as online documents, spreadsheets and presentations (Google Docs).

TSU administrators, alumni, faculty and students visited

the Texas State Capitol in Austin to demonstrate support

for Texas Southern University’s legislative agenda during

“TSU Day at the Capitol.” While there, participants visited

offices, met with state legislators to discuss priorities of the

University and were recognized in the chamber during the

legislative session.

John Rudley and staff from Buildings and Grounds and Facilities Maintenance celebrate at the 2010 Victory Celebration. The department had the highest percentage of participation for the 2010 Faculty Staff Campaign.

title: Shell Oil Company Foundation, Social Investment

academic degrees: (’96) and Doctorate of Education (’07)

Contribution to tsU: Wilson is a bridge between Shell Oil and TSU, a natural fit for a university with a strong focus on energy programs.22

after earning an MBA (’96) and Doctorate of Education (’07) from Texas Southern,

Frazier Wilson, VP, Shell Oil Company Foundation, Social Investment, has

cultivated a reputation for excellence that extends around the globe.

With twin passions for education and entrepreneurship, the Mississippi native has put all of his many talents and areas of expertise to good use. He is responsible for developing the Shell’s u.S. strategy for corporate outreach to the community, increasing the size of its technology workforce and developing the Shell Youth training academy. In Wilson’s current role as Vp, Shell oil Company Foundation, Social Investment, he is also tapped to facilitate meeting the needs of various global citizens in crisis.

“I oversee our employee giving programs and disaster response efforts to places such as Haiti and currently Japan. I coordinate our company’s community service actions in the aftermath of events like Hurricane Ike, and our participation in aIDS Walk Houston and many other activities. In addition, I am responsible for directing all of our college contributions,” said Wilson.

Wilson says that Shell has chosen to support tSu and its programs financially over this past decade because everyone in the Bayou City benefits from Houston hav-ing strong universities — particularly a strong texas Southern university.

“With its focus on programs directly related to the field of energy, the interests of the faculty and the school’s com-mitment to preparing students, it just made sense for Shell and tSu to build a relationship,” said Wilson. “Shell’s investment has definitely helped tSu attract students and faculty, and provided an example or a glimpse of what could be regarding improving society and community.”

During Wilson’s 16-year tenure at Shell, he has managed to stay busy outside of the office, exhibiting the qualities of a modern day, multi-gifted paul robeson. an accountant, MBa, certified teacher with a Doctorate of education, Wilson credits his wife and two children for giving him the freedom to share his gifts in so many ways. Wilson has been a life-long mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters and 100 Black Men of Metro Houston, an organization over which he presides as president. His board participa-tion alone, which includes Children at risk, the Houston Museum of Fine arts, red Cross, KIpp academy, Fort Valley State university, Ft. Bend, prairie View a&M university, the university of texas pan american, and the national Science resource Center, to name a few, speaks to his heart for service.

Yet, the humility Wilson brings to the table may be his strongest characteristic, guiding him to channel his tal-ents for the betterment of the world of business, the area of education, and society as a whole.

“ Shell believes in getting involved in the

communities where we live and work.

In particular, we understand the value

of a solid education. That is why, for

nearly a decade, Shell has partnered

with Texas Southern University to

support programs and scholarship

funds that have enriched the lives of

students and advanced faculty research

in laboratories and classrooms across

the university.”Marvin e. odumPresident, Shell Oil Company

FinanCiaL anaLYsis OF tsU

Net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of TSU’s financial position. Assets exceed liabilities by $146,873,857 as of August 31, 2010. The largest portion of TSU’s net assets is its investment in capital assets at 56%. It is comprised of land, buildings and improvements, equipment, construction in progress and infrastructure, less any debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. TSU uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although TSU’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
