NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University is set to welcome hundreds of high school juniors and seniors, along with their families from across the nation, for the highly anticipated Spring Preview Day on April 12. This premier open house event showcases TSU’s programs, campus life, and community to prospective students.

The festivities will begin at 9 a.m., Kean Hall on the main campus. Registration is now open.

“We warmly invite prospective students and their families to explore the exciting opportunities at TSU during Spring Preview Day,” says Dr. Portia Johnson, Executive Director of Recruitment and Campus Visits. “This event offers a unique platform for attendees to see how TSU can support their academic and personal growth, and we look forward to showcasing our vibrant campus.”

The Spring Preview Day will feature an array of engaging activities across campus. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with academic and financial aid advisors, as well as meet deans and department chairs who will present displays representing their respective areas. The visitors will also connect with current students, gaining insights into campus culture and the supportive learning environment that TSU provides.

Elmore J. Jones, Jr., TSU’s Deputy Chief Operating Officer, emphasizes the importance of Spring Preview Day in helping prospective students and families discover what distinguishes TSU as a leading institution.

“Spring Preview Day offers students and their families the chance to experience our exceptional programs, resources, and services firsthand,” says Jones. “Participants will interact with our outstanding faculty, advisors, and current students, highlighting the transformative learning environment that TSU is proud to offer.”

Last year’s Preview Day was canceled due to inclement weather; however, in 2023, over 500 prospective students and their families attended the event, which took place in early December, with participants hailing from more than 15 states, including California, Illinois, and Michigan.
