&Legends Leaders

2011 Annual Report

For more than eight decades, 85 years to be exact, Texas Southern University has been a training ground for future leaders. Founded on the principle of equality in education, we have far surpassed the expectations set for us in 1927.

Since the beginning, great things have taken place at TSU. As a result, our graduates continue to blaze trails in their communites and far beyond.

Throughout the years, our students, graduates, academics and alumni have proven that where the seed of equality is planted, excellence will grow.

For 85 years, we’ve cultivated great minds that change the world. We are proud of our legacy — people who lead.

We ceLebrate a Legacy of Leadership.

Texas Southern University is a comprehensive metropolitan university.

Building on its legacy as a historically black institution, the

University provides academic and research programs that address

critical urban issues and prepares an ethnically diverse student

population to become a force for positive change in a global society.

In order to achieve this mission, Texas Southern University provides:

• quality instruction in a culture of innovative teaching and learning;

• basic and applied research and scholarship that is responsive to

community issues;

• opportunities for public service that benefit the community and

the world.

Texas Southern University will become one of the nation’s preeminent

comprehensive, metropolitan universities. We will be recognized by

the excellence of our programs, the quality of our instruction, our

innovative research and our desire to be a contributing partner to our

community, state, nation and world.

OUR MISSION

OUR VISION

TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY

Dear Friends,

Texas Southern possesses a formidable track record of producing both leaders and legends. Thus, as we march proudly into our 85th year, more and more people both here and abroad recognize Texas Southern’s past and present global impact. The year 2011, especially, saw the University begin to break free from the moniker “best kept secret in higher education.”

With our SACS accreditation renewed for the next 10 years, the University purposefully engaged in the work of producing the world’s next generation of leaders and legends. Consistent with our primary focus on students, the launch of our Urban Academic Village, a pilot program, made possible through a $2.74 million grant from Houston Endowment, is already yielding impressive results. Moreover, our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), one of the key components of the SACS reaccreditation process, was initiated to provide the requisite qualitative checks and balances to ensure that our students can compete with the best in the world.

In 2011, the University’s legends and leaders in-the-making took full advantage of increased investment in student success services and campus beautification. The University’s proactive steps to bolster institutional savings and fiscal responsibility inspired increased external and internal stakeholder confidence. As a result, Texas Southern received an additional two point increase in our Moody’s Investor Services bond ratings (the fifth in three years).

Barbara Jordan once stated, “Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power.” In 2011, Texas Southern University called for and invested in “brain power” and received a return on investment that will give us the momentum to achieve even greater things in 2012 and beyond.

Sincerely,

John M. Rudley

Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs; Vice President for Research, Texas Southern University

Ohia received his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology and his Master of Science in Pharmacology and Therapeutics from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. He earned his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom.

His role in the founding of the Thomas F. Freeman Honors College. “The new Honors College shows our emphasis on quality and excellence, and symbolizes our ability to move to the next realm of accomplishment,” he says.

shirlette glover miltoninterim dean and associate professor tsU college of pharmacy & health sciences (cophs)Under the guidance of this TSU Alumna, COPHS graduates are well prepared to lead. With a history of graduating 27%

of African American pharmacists in the United States, COPHS continues a legacy of excellence.

TSU alumnus Carroll Thomas, Ph.D., served as superintendent of Beaumont I.S.D. from 1996 through 2012. Credited for his longevity and impact on Beaumont

I.S.D., he was instrumental in improving their 25 schools, helping it become one of the top districts in the nation.

AcAdEMIcS

Prior to Texas Southern, Ohia served as dean of the School

of Pharmacy at the University of Houston. “The excitement

for me is seeing if I can transfer the same success I once had

changing the paradigm and dynamics of one college to the

university level — overseeing all of the colleges and schools,”

he says.

As provost and vice president for Academic Affairs as well as

vice president for Research at TSU, the many hats that Ohia

wears allow him to play an integral role in a variety of areas

that define the quality of the student experience.

“As provost, I oversee all academic programs involving stu-

dents, faculty and programs themselves,” Ohia explains.

“As vice president of Academic Affairs, I also have over-

sight responsibility for all the ancillary support services and

programs like retention services, the libraries—all areas that

support academics.”

In addition, Ohia’s role as chief research officer of the

University finds him overseeing all direct research programs.

For even the most seasoned administrator, these respon-

siblities may seem overwhelming. But Ohia is driven by

his passion for academics and all things pertaining to the

intellectual curiosity of our students. To that end, Ohia is

insistent that everything at TSU focuses on the students, as

reflected by his list of highlights from 2011.

“All indexes show that we are successfully moving in the

right direction, including the SACS accreditation we have

received for the next 10 years, the new strategic plan from

the Board of Regents and the Quality Enhancement Plan,”

he explains. “The establishment of the Teaching and Learning

Excellence Center ensures that our professors stay current in

their teaching methodologies.”

The importance of the SACS reaccreditation, for Ohia,

cannot be overstated.

“It’s critical because it says to our peers that TSU has the

resources, environment and quality programs to exist as a

fully functional university,” he states, adding that he is ready

to take the University to the next level. “We want to make

sure that what we’re doing is benchmarked with our peers.”

Ohia is optimistic about the direction in which TSU is

headed. “We’re providing the best education money can buy

for the students of the University.”

Dedicated to academia, Dr. Sunny E. Ohia views his position at Texas Southern University

as an opportunity to conquer greater challenges. With 11 colleges and schools under his

watch, he is leading TSU towards excellence.

These leaders in academics help students strive for excellence both on campus and in the community.

five neW deans Join tsU in 2011

Although the roles of academic deans may vary greatly, these

leaders share common ties. As scholarly administrators,

academic deans serve and answer to a variety of univer-

sity constituents. At TSU, our deans are also bonded by

another commonality: a commitment to the positive changes

currently happening here. In the past year alone, the

University has appointed five new deans to join this esteemed

contingent.

Dean robert bullard has rejoined the

faculty at Texas Southern University

as the dean of the Barbara Jordan-

Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs.

Named by Newsweek as one of 13

Environmental Leaders of the Century,

Bullard published Environmental

Health and Racial Equality in the United States: Strategies

for Building Just, Sustainable and Livable Communities in

April 2011.

Lillian b. poats is now dean of the

College of Education. She has served

as a professor in the Department

of Educational Administration and

Foundations and director of certifi-

cation for the College of Education.

Poats earned a bachelor’s degree in

Secondary Education from Purdue University. She also

holds a master’s degree in Counseling and a Ph.D. in Higher

Education Administration from Texas Southern University.

Her primary research focus is diversity in education.

Dean ronald Johnson joined the

Jesse H. Jones School of Business (JHJ)

from the College of Business at Western

Carolina University in Cullowhee,

North Carolina. He is the former presi-

dent and chief investment officer at

Smith Graham & Co. in Houston. As

the new dean, Johnson brings his unique blend of experience

to the Jesse H. Jones School of Business.

F. Freeman Honors College, succeeding

Thomas F. Freeman, the namesake of

the newest college. Earlier this year, the

ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Honors

College, housed on the lower level of the

Robert J. Terry Library, symbolized its

addition on campus. The mission of the Thomas F. Freeman

Honors College is to encourage its students to live produc-

tively as citizens of a global era.

danille k. taylor is now dean of the College of Liberal Arts

and Behavioral Sciences. Before coming

to TSU, she was instrumental in the revi-

talization of the Division of Humanities

at Dillard University. In 2011, Taylor led

a TSU delegation to confer with Beijing

Jiatong University for completion of

the TSU COLABS Confucius Institute

application. She was also an active participant in a study sem-

inar on the Afro Cuban Women’s Experience at La Casa de

las Americas in Havana, Cuba.

With the help of the Houston Endowment, the University received a $2.74 million grant to begin a two-year pilot study — The Urban Academic Village (UAV) — which started in fall 2011. The primary goal of the UAV is to defeat low retention and graduation rates. As part of the program, the 390 freshmen who live in a renovated apartment complex have access to on-site faculty members 24 hours a day. Supplemental work that helps them sharpen their skills combined with the option of taking classes together offers addition-al academic support. Students also have the opportunity to attend lectures together and venture off campus for field trips. With strength in numbers, graduation becomes a reality for the vast majority of the UAV students. In 2011, 90% percent of Urban Academic Village students continued to the spring semester, compared to 80% of their peers.

L. Lloyd Woods Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Shell Oil Endowed Chaired Professor of Environmental Toxicology

As founding director of TSU’s NASA University Research Center, Wilson has lead a team to investigate the toxicology of the space travel environment using cutting-edge tools, approaches and applications of nanotechnology and genomics.

Last year, Wilson was selected as a 2011 Fellow of the American Chemical Society. The Fellows programs honors those who excel in their contributions to the field of chemical sciences.

Growing up in rural Mississippi during the first half of the 21st century, Bobby Wilson

understood that educational opportunities are not always equal. But with the support of

his family, scholarships and self-motivation, he was able to obtain his doctorate in spite

of adversity. Today, he remains committed to making sure that TSU science students are

able to see their professional dreams to fruition.

RESEARcH

Throughout the years, Wilson has developed a reputation

for extracting the best from TSU’s brightest. In 1994, he was

instrumental in establishing our first Ph.D. program, as well

as three additional Ph.D. degree programs between 2002 and

2007. And through the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority

Participation – a local consortium of seven Houston-area-

colleges and universities — Wilson is steadily increasing the

number of African Americans in the STEM professions (sci-

ence, technology, engineering and math.)

“Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to mentor over

70 graduate students in chemistry and 20 graduate students

and/or 20 Ph.D. candidates in the Environmental Toxicol-

ogy program.”

This has been no small feat, considering that between 2000

and 2009, more than a third of African American Ph.D.

graduates in environmental engineering were once stu-

dents of Wilson’s. That said, his commitment to his stu-

dents goes far beyond changing demographics. Wilson

also works hard to ensure that TSU students have access

to the same science facilities available at major research in-

stitutions. He was instrumental in promoting the Univer-

sity’s research agenda and in planning the Texas Southern

University Science Center, a $35 million structure with

state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms and computer labs.

Despite the accolades Wilson has received, he says that he’s

still surprised by the fact that many outside of TSU are tak-

ing note of his work. He credits one of his early professors

for inspiring him to conduct the work he does today.

“Dr. Curtis McDonald, my professor at the University of

Alabama, was my undergraduate mentor,” he says. “He

gave me the encouragement I needed to pursue a doctorate

degree.”

Years later, when McDonald moved from Alabama State

University to TSU, Wilson decided that he, too, wanted to

assist young men and women with their goals for a higher

education.

“Since obtaining my higher education, it’s been my goal not

only to become a scholar and a researcher, but to also as-

sist others in obtaining their own education,” Wilson states.

“Fortunately, through scholarships, grants and research, I’ve

finally achieved it.”

From students to alumni, these innovators are leading the way in science.

Assistant Vice President, U.S. Natural Gas Logistics, Barclays Capital

After graduating from TSU, Davis worked in the energy sector for 15 years. Her desire to grow within the finance area of the industry prompted her to pursue an Executive M.B.A. through the Jesse H. Jones School of Business.

While pursuing her undergraduate degree, Davis was a newly-married, working mother. Despite the hectic pace of parenting, she successfully balanced family life with her academic career.

“After coming from a larger university, I viewed Texas

Southern as an opportunity to learn in a smaller setting

where instructors were more like mentors than simply

lecturers,” Davis says. She also appreciated the program’s

flexible options that allowed her to remain working while

completing her degree.

After receiving her B.B.A., she traded the Tiger Walk for life

in the corporate world, developing an impressive resume in

the process. After realizing that she had 15 years of expe-

rience with companies including BP Energy – and a desire

to grow professionally — Traci decided that it was time to

do more.

“I was attracted to the eMBA program mainly because of

its energy/finance concentration,” Davis shares. “Given my

experience in the energy field, I felt the need to enrich my

skill set in order to succeed in such a robust and complex

energy climate.”

Traci Davis understands what it means to be a student at TSU — twice over. The August

2011 graduate of the Online Executive MBA program also obtained her Bachelors of

Business Administration through the Jesse H. Jones School of Business. In the 1990s,

as an undergraduate transfer student, she benefitted from TSU’s smaller class sizes.

As a recent graduate student, she appreciates the freedom the eMBA degree affords her.

STUdENTS

Today, Davis is assistant vice president of U.S. Natural Gas

Logistics for Barclays Capital. She credits her parents with

inspiring her to grow both personally and professionally.

“To me, my parents are TSU legends. They both received

their post-graduate degrees from TSU.”

Considering her role models, it’s not surprising that Davis

maintains a strong work ethic.

“The TSU motto is ‘Excellence in Achievement’ and I did

not limit that to academics,” Davis says, adding that she

honed skills of teamwork, work ethic and leadership while

studying here.

“I chose to embrace the entire collegiate experience,” she

says, encouraging current students to follow suit.

“It is often the intangible skills that set you apart from

the pack.”

Q: What inspired you to become involved with sga? A: As a student I realized early on that I am the biggest stakeholder at TSU. For that reason, I’ve always had a vested interest in the condition of my university. I recognized that I was a competent and worthy student leader here on campus, and I have always had a natural inclination to contribute. After my service as the president of the Political Science Club, I knew I had the confidence to serve in a higher capacity at TSU. SGA has enhanced my leadership skills in so many different aspects. It is the influence and the scope of the student body that has always kept me engaged in its purpose. We have a continued commitment to every student that aspires to pursue their education here. It has been a great privilege to serve as the 64th SGA president of this illustrious University.

Q: What were some of the sga highlights from 2011?A: A few of the highlights inlude: the 2011 Congressional Black Caucus, the 2011 American Student Government As-sociation, and the 2011 City of Houston Candidates Forum. We also enhanced student and administration relations and cultivated a wealth of external and internal relationships (City of Houston, U.S. Congress, Adopt-a-Block, Tabitha Founda-tion). My administration produced a comprehensive parking platform that dramatically decreased parking rates for our student constituency.

Q: What are your future aspirations?A: I aspire to become the CEO of my own political consulting firm. In addition to that, I would like to attend law school, practice contract law and eventually lobby for equal funding for HBCUs and PBIs across the nation.

She’s also the chartering secretary of the TSU chapter of Circle Kiwanis International, an international community service organization.

cAMpUS & cOMMUNITY

Despite the rigors of academia and an active extra-curricular roster, Jylise Smith finds

time to be of service to many — both on and off campus. From serving as a residential

assistant for the second consecutive year, to volunteering in the greater TSU community,

she’s a student who exemplifies leadership in action.

Both locally and nationally, Thurgood Marshall School of Law alumni are making a powerful impact in the community.

harry e. Johnson, sr.Lawyer and president/ceo Washington, d.c. martin Luther king, Jr. national memorial project foundation, inc.In 2011, Johnson saw a dream to fruition: the unveiling of the Martin Luther King, Jr.

National Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Johnson, who received his J.D. from Thurgood Marshall School of Law (TMSL) in 1986, raised more than $120 million in order to complete the project.

Josetta Jonessenior counselchevron corporationOutside of the boardroom, Jones, who graduated from TMSL in 1997, continues to do her part in working towards equality. She is a member of many boards whose mission

is to speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves. She also works with Techbridge, a nonprofit that aims to increase the number of girls who pursue STEM professions.

Judge belvin perry, Jr.ninth Judicial circuit chief Judge state of floridaWhile some may recognize Perry as the presiding judge over State of Florida v. Casey Marie Anthony, Perry is also active in the community. Through his Sanctioned to Read

program, the ’77 TMSL alumnus has been influential in giving juvenile offenders an opportunity to learn under the arm of the court, and hopefully a new start.

Leading by example

the Houston Downtown Detention Center, an organization

focused on keeping young people out of prison.

“The goal is to prevent them from becoming involved with

the juvenile justice system,” she says.

With plans to continue to be of service after she graduates

this May, the aspiring attorney notes that her TSU experi-

ence has prepared her for a life of leadership and service.

“I plan to do this (volunteer) for as long as I live,” she says.

“No matter what I am doing, I want to give back because I

love helping people.”

As she prepares for commencement, Smith is already

planning to extend her service efforts to TSU once she leaves

the campus. Even as a busy professional, she plans to give

time and energy to the University that gave her so much.

“Texas Southern has prepared me for life, so I plan to be a

very proactive alumna,” she states. “I want be the one who

gives the most.”

“I see it as an obligation,” Smith says of her community

activism. “For me, it’s a lot more than something I do in my

spare time.”

Smith’s dedication to seeing others succeed goes far beyond

helping freshmen and sophomores as a second-year residen-

tial assistant. She also volunteers in the Houston community.

At least twice a week, she spends time helping children in

need through an organization called The Dream Academy,

where she is a member of the board.

Smith can see her own energy and enthusiasm for giving back

to the community becoming contagious among her peers.

“Our volunteers are on fire!” she says with a laugh, noting

their dedication. She says that with time, the other students’

commitment to helping children thrive has multiplied. “Our

mentors have really grown to adore the girls we help,” she

Hannah Hall murals, hidden gems on campus that were painted by TSU art majors over seven decades.

Held at Houston’s Wortham Center, this unique fund-

raising event paid tribute to the Performing and Visual

Arts programs at TSU. Through song, dance and live

painting, TSU Honors 2011, Portraits of Art: Inspira-tion Revealed, paid homage to the life and work of

artists John Biggers, the founding father of the TSU

Art Department and Kermit Oliver, a prolific paint-

er who blazed a trail at home and abroad. For their

musical contributions, we honored the late Camp-

bell “Skeets” Tolbert, a legendary jazz musician and

composer, as well as Grammy Award-winning artist

and TSU alumnus Kirk

Whalum. And for their

contributions to the stage,

we celebrated Ollington

Smith, founder of the TSU

Department of Theater and

Thomas Meloncon, TSU

alumnus, professor, play-

wright, poet and theater

director. For eight decades,

TSU graduates have distin-

guished themselves as artis-

tic visionaries who lead.

In 1966, Barabara Jordan was the first African American woman elected to the Texas Senate. Forty-six years later, Texas Southern University was the backdrop for a historic stamp unveiling.

On September 16, Barbara Jordan was recognized as the 34th honoree in the United States Postal Service’s Black Heritage stamp series. Sawyer Auditorium was an ideal location, given Jordan’s connection to TSU: she graduated in 1956, magna cum laude.

For the second consecutive year, the TSU Faculty/Staff Campaign exceeded the national average among university employee giving campaigns, with an outstanding 71% participation rate. Spearheaded by the Texas Southern University Office of Development, $121,000 was raised by 881 faculty and staff members in just one month.

Two campus organizations—the Collegiate 100 Black

Men and the Collegiate 100 Black Women—have joined

forces, working to steer more African American teens

and young adults towards a path of intellectual and pro-

fessional growth. Both campus organizations, started on

campus in 2011, participate in various community service

activities. They also seek to improve campus retention

and graduation rates through mentoring, tutoring and

skills development programs for fellow students and stu-

dents aspiring to attend college.

Part of the rennaisance of excellence that is taking place on

campus is the improvement of our campus grounds. Lush

plants, native to the Houston region are tended to daily,

reflecting a rebirth that is currently taking place. Around the

perimeter of campus, a new iron fence was installed as well.

It stands tall and proud, providing greater safety for students

and creates further cohesiveness within.

President and Founder of W.J. Alexander & Associates, P.C. Member, TSU Foundation Board

Houston residents may recall it was Alexander’s football skills that brought the Montgomery, Alabama native to Houston, after being drafted by the Oilers in 1971. Understandably, Alexander draws parallels between sports and business.“There are highs and lows in business just like pro football. You win or you lose; it’s all about what you put into it. The good thing about business, though, is I don’t have to worry about being hit from the blind side,” he says.

dONORS

He sees running a business as a family affair. He credits his

wife with generating new clients and insists that she could

easily run a Fortune 500 company, based on her business acu-

men and savvy she uses to oversee their thriving company.

“My wife is my business partner,” he says. “My son is in

the business. We work together to make W.J. Alexander &

Associates successful. I’m just part of the team.”

Despite the rigors of running a successful business, the

Alexanders make time to champion the cause of Texas

Southern University.

“Everyone should give to TSU,” he says, noting that large

and small business owners should realize the value of TSU

graduates. “Whether you run a mom & pop store or big cor-

poration, graduates of Texas Southern— who come from

all over — will undoubtedly become your employees. Real

good ones,” he adds. “It make sense to invest in them now.”

Although Alexander was not born in Houston, he makes no

bones about where his heart resides.

“Houston is our home, and TSU is the city’s flagship

HBCU,” states Alexander, himself an HBCU alumus (he

graduated from Alcorn State University). “It only makes

sense that we would support the homefront.”

Alexander’s support has come in a multitude of ways. He has

served on the TSU Foundation Board for over five years, an

entity tasked with soliciting corporate and personal donors

to Texas Southern, where Alexander’s wife earned her Master

of Business Administration.

The Alexanders have not only encouraged others to con-

tribute to Texas Southern’s overall programming, they have

been generous donors themselves. In addition, Alexander,

author of the book, Entering the Promised Land, has made

himself available to members of the TSU community in

various ways to share his sage business advice.

Many know Willie Alexander as the president and founder of W.J. Alexander & Associates,

P.C., a full-service employee benefits consulting and insurance brokerage firm.

Others remember when Alexander played football for the Houston Oilers. But to the

successful entrepreneur, “doing good” is just as important as “doing well.” With his wife

of over 36 years, Carolyn, Alexander is at the forefront of proud and consistent donors to

Texas Southern University.

Three leaders whose generosity makes success attainable for TSU students

deneen fordLieutenanttsU department of policeAfter beginning her college education at TSU as an Administration of Justice stu-dent in the 1980s, Ford contributes to the President’s Leadership Scholarship (PLS) and feels it is “a great opportunity to

contribute to a young person’s education.”

Leaders by example

pippa Wileyprincipal farmers insurance agencySince 1990, Wiley has built one of the largest Farmers agencies in the country. She became a supporter of Texas Southern University when she learned of the PLS program and liked the idea of

supporting a student through college.

bert simmonsowner and operator state farm insurance agencytsU alumnusSimmons has been giving to his alma mater since 1980, not long after he graduated from TSU. The former president

of the TSU National Alumni Association says that he finds personal fulfillment in giving to the school where he got his start. “It has enriched my life,” Simmons says, “because I know that my contributions are helping the University and its deserving students.”

Net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of TSU’s financial position. Assets exceed

liabilities by $139,954,869.60 as of August 31, 2011. The largest portion of TSU’s net assets is its

investment in capital assets at 50%. 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.
