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

achievement:
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.
humphrey regis is dean of the Thomas
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.

Jylise was voted Ms. Junior Class Queen, treasurer for Habitat for Humanity, vice president of the International Student Organization, chair for the Spiritual Awareness Committee and co-chair of the Cinema Committee of University Program Council. 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.

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
shares.
In addition to serving on the advisory board of the Dream
Academy, Smith also dedicates her time to helping youth in
mUraL restoration proJect receives broWn foUndation grantThe University received a $100,000 grant from the Brown Foundation in 2011. The grant will aid in the preservation of the
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.
