Since her inception in 1794, Tusculum College has developed into an important reflection of the greater region, where strides toward growth and excellence are balanced with a desire to remain deeply rooted in our community. In our mission to provide a liberal arts education in a Judeo-Christian and civic arts environment, with pathways for career preparation, personal development and civic engagement, we recognize that our work here affects our campus community, as well as our surrounding families, neighborhoods and businesses. We are intentionally conscious of and measured by the impact we make.
Tusculum College is committed to continuous improvement in creating a learning environment that allows her students to achieve academic excellence, as well as to grow strong in body, mind and spirit. Recently improvements were made to the Paul E. Hayden Educational Wetland that included vegetation removal and replacement, new signage and a walking tour brochure. More than 300 volunteers worked on removing cattails and reseeding the area with native plants. The cattails had become invasive and were actually preventing the wetlands from cleaning the moving stream as it was designed to do. Signage has been added to describe the habitat for those who visit the wetlands on their own. Additionally, the Tusculum College Board of Trustees was informed that a gift had been received by the college that would allow for a pavilion to be constructed as part of the wetlands project. The Paul E. Hayden Educational Wetland provides science students with an outdoor classroom and experiment center, while tending to the environment that supports campus life. Since its completion in 2014, more than 600 Greeneville and Greene County students have participated in educational programs at the wetlands.
Please continue to support Tusculum and your students in building a world-class faculty, staff, programs and learning communities that meet the needs of today and tomorrow.
