2009 Commencement Ceremony at Texas Southern University

A comprehensive metropolitan university, Texas Southern University has built its legacy as a historically black institution, providing academic and research programs that address critical urban issues and prepare an ethnically diverse student population to be a force for positive change in a global society. Heralded as a pioneer, Texas Southern University has distinguished itself by producing a significant number of African-American students who have obtained postsecondary and advanced degrees. Although initially established to educate African Americans, Texas Southern University has become one of the most diverse institutions in Texas.
