FROM
“
May 11, 2003, is not only
significant for Tuskegee University
but is also a tremendous leap for
the United States of America. On
this date, the first Ph.D. recipients
in history received their doctorates
from this grand institution. It is
predicted that in less than a decade
a significant majority of African
Americans with Ph.D.s in materials
science and engineering will
receive those degrees from
Tuskegee University.
”
– Dr. Benjamin F. Payton,
President of Tuskegee University
The Tuskegee News

T
he year 2002-2003 was one of several milestones in the growth and development of Tuskegee University.
Significant improvements to the physical plant continued – a reflection of the success of the $150 million Campaign
for Tuskegee that raised $169 million. Many new initiatives are also under way as a result and as an outgrowth of the
Campaign’s extension, the $60 million Legacy Campaign. Our students, faculty, and staff continued to perform at the
highest levels garnering several individual and institutional honors, recognitions and awards. Here we encapsulate some
of the major events that made this past year unique.
Awarding degrees to the University’s first Ph.D. graduates was, of course, special, as was, once again, congratulating our
SIAC Champion football team and recognizing other student achievements. We were pleased to welcome a number of special
guests to our campus, as well as, a number of timely, relevant and productive conferences.
Committed to teaching, research and service, Tuskegee University continued its development of four major initiatives designed
to strengthen our role in each. The National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care, the new College of Business
and Information Science, White Hall and the C. Alfred “Chief” Anderson Department of Aviation Science each took significant
steps forward in 2002-2003 toward their full implementation. We share with you in these pages a progress report on each.
Our alumni, ever-faithful to “Mother Tuskegee,” again supported Alma Mater with donations in excess of $1 million. Ever
diligent in their professional and civic lives, they were also recognized for a wide array of accomplishments. Our current
students also continued their pursuit of excellence and proved capable in the academic, athletic, and civic arenas.
Bolstered by contributions, increased sponsored research and improved campus efficiencies, we again ended the year in a
strong financial position realizing still another increase in net assets at year end. Though 2003-2004 will pose a painful
challenge, considering the fiscal conditions of the state and the overall national economy, Tuskegee University will continue
to meet the needs of our students, faculty and staff.
But, don’t just take our word for it, read what the press is saying about Tuskegee. Thanks to your support, this was a banner
year.
Benjamin F. Payton, President
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Accomplishments
“
This year’s commencement was a
special one for Tuskegee
University as it graduated its first
class of Ph.Ds in materials science
and engineering in May. In 1953,
Tuskegee made history in
professional nursing, graduating
the first class from the first
baccalaureate program established
in the state of Alabama.

S
O
f the many achievements, honors, awards and accolades that were earned by and
bestowed upon Tuskegee University this year, the single-most impressive is undoubtedly
the graduation of the University's first-ever Ph.Ds. At the 118th Annual Spring Commencement
Exercises, Drs. Harvey P. Hall, Krishnan Kanny, Valerie N. Moses and Tonnia Thomas were
conferred the doctor of philosophy in materials science and engineering degree and are already
making their mark in industry and academia.
Making their mark in the medical field are graduates of Tuskegee's first baccalaureate class of
professional nurses. The class of 1953 was the first to graduate from the first baccalaureate nursing
program established in the state of Alabama – one of the first such programs at a Historically
Black College or University in the nation.
Tuskegee University has again been ranked one of America's "Best Colleges" by U.S. News &
World Report. Among Southern schools who offer diverse degrees at the master's level, Tuskegee
is third among HBCUs and third among colleges and universities in the state of Alabama. Tuskegee
has the "best quality of life" of any Alabama school, according to the 2004 edition of The Princeton
Review's Best 351 Colleges. Tuskegee is sixth on the national list of schools with the best overall
quality of life. Likewise, the University was the only educational institution in the state and among
HBCUs in the country honored in the sub-category.
The July 3, 2003, edition of Black Issues in Higher Education found that Tuskegee is No. 1 in the
state of Alabama conferring the coveted "first professional degree" regardless of predominate
ethnic group. Tuskegee is also tied for the No. 1 spot in the state in producing Blacks with master's
degrees in engineering. The June 5, 2003, edition of Black Issues in Higher Education notes that
Tuskegee ranks in the Top 25 producers of Black baccalaureate graduates among HBCUs. Tuskegee
is second in the state of Alabama.
Black Enterprise magazine lists Tuskegee as one of the Top 25 Colleges for African-Americans.
The 2003 list, the magazine's third biennial index, praises Tuskegee for its stellar academic programs,
affordable tuition and small class sizes.

ith the Kellogg Conference Center and Hotel as the venue,
Tuskegee hosts dozens of intellectually stimulating, communityoriented, educationally enriching conferences throughout the year. Of them, the
Annual Farmer’s Conference and the Booker T. Washington Economic Development Summit are perhaps the best known.
Congressman Artur Davis (Alabama, 7th District) was the keynote speaker for the
Merit Family Luncheon during the 118th Farmer’s Conference, while Leonard
Spearman, former U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Rwanda and the Kingdom
of Lesotho, headlined the Economic Development Summit.
Tuskegee played host to the Advancing Minorities’ Interest in Engineering Conference for the first time in the history of the consortium of 10 HBCUs that are recognized by the Accreditation Board of Engineering Technology (ABET). The list of
exhibitors was a litany of engineering giants including Northrop Grumman, Honda,
Raytheon, General Motors, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratories, Lockheed Martin
and the National Security Agency.
Corporate sponsorship was essential to the success of the student-organized Tuskegee
University Business and Engineering Conference (TUBE). TUBE events included
an investments competition sponsored by Raytheon, an honors luncheon sponsored by Ford Motor Co., an awards banquet sponsored by General Electric, as
well as a diaper design contest and luncheon sponsored by Procter & Gamble.
Putting children safely to sleep in their cribs was the aim of the first of three national summits to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in African
American communities. The two-day convention drew hundreds of attendees from
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee who were concerned about the syndrome that claims the lives of some 2,500 infants per year.
Tuskegee also hosted the Annual Biomedical Research Symposium, Veterinary
Medicine Symposium, Professional Agricultural Workers Conference, as well as
conventions of the Alabama State Nurses’ Association and the National Sponsored
Programs Administrators Alliance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

A
true campus gem, the Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in
Research and Health Care will be permanently housed in the completely
reconstructed 170,000-square-foot John Andrew Building Complex.
The Bioethics Center consists of space for the Tuskegee University archives, a Museum
of Science and Health Care, classrooms, offices, auditoriums/lecture rooms and
laboratories. The College of Liberal Arts and Education, graduate programs and Allied
Health programs will also be housed in the largest academic facility on campus.
Plans also call for renovation of nearby James Hall, formerly a residence hall, to
serve as the Bioethics Living-Learning Facility to house visiting bioethicists.
The $30 million project is perhaps the perfect addition to a budding Bioethics Center
that is garnering national attention for its work as the prism shedding light on the
problem of health disparities in communities of color and its education of minority
bioethicists.
On May 14, a $7.4 million Excellence in Partnerships for Community Outreach,
Research on Health Disparities and Training (EXPORT) program grant was announced
by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center for Minority Health and Health
Disparities division of The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
By focusing efforts through the grant-funded Center of Excellence in Public Health
and Bioethics, Tuskegee University is focusing its role as the lead EXPORT institution
in partnership with the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, to reduce health disparities
in the Alabama Black Belt through analytical, integrative and ethical research,
education and outreach.
Dr. John Ruffin, director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Center on
Minority Health and Health Disparities, and Claude A. Allen, deputy secretary for
HHS, both made personal appearances to the University in conjunction with the health
disparities program.

t was an historic year for the College of Business and Information
Science, which saw one of its largest graduating classes – 19 with honors
– and received The P&G Fund’s largest donation ever to a Historically Black
College or University.
Procter & Gamble’s President and Chief Executive A.G. Lafley personally
announced a $2 million pledge on Feb. 26 to Tuskegee University’s $60 million
Legacy Campaign.
P&G’s “leadership gift,” which officially launched the Campaign, will help
construct a $12 million, 45,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility to house the
College. The auditorium will bear P&G’s name.
Contributing corporations such as 3M, Raytheon, Microsoft, and the National
Science Foundation have provided software and cutting edge equipment, such as
the most modern computers, multi-media projectors, and a video conferencing
system. And the Tuskegee University Business and Industry Cluster contributed
nearly $60,000 to refurbish and upgrade the existing facility, Chambliss Business
House.
Increased grants from such corporate and government entities as Xerox, Boeing,
and the Department of Transportation – including the Department of Education’s
$100,000 to develop a Caribbean International Business Certificate program –
meant funding for research, program and faculty development.

Learning to operate aircraft through Tuskegee’s aviation science program are
engineering students Everand Woodard, Chrystal Bridges, and Tiji Allen. Allen
and Woodard completed their commercial pilots license training this summer,
while Bridges earned her private pilots license through a partnership with Kansas
State University-Salina. When the program reaches its full capacity, a graduating
class of at least 20 students per year is expected.
Chairman-Emeritus of Inner City Broadcasting Company and former Manhattan,
N.Y., Borough President Percy E. Sutton was the keynote speaker for the Annual

332nd Fighter Group’s all Black 99th Pursuit Squadron in the Italian and
Mediterranean theaters of operation.
When Sutton was commissioned a Lieutenant nearly 50 years ago, the U.S. Air
Force was still a component of the U.S. Army. Today the Army and Air Force
offer students opportunities to pursue their dreams through the Reserve Officer
Training programs at Tuskegee University. Eighteen Tuskegee graduates
continued in Sutton’s footsteps this year as they were commissioned 2nd
Lieutenants in the U.S. Military.

s the University embarks on its aggressive $60 million Legacy Campaign,
the strong support of corporations, foundations, government agencies, alumni
and other individuals committed to “building Tuskegee for the 21st Century” has proven
critical to our fund-raising success. The Legacy Campaign has raised nearly half of its
goal and has the needed momentum to secure the remaining funds by December 2005.
The Legacy Campaign was officially launched in February with a $2 million leadership
gift from longtime corporate partner Procter & Gamble, personally presented by President
and Chief Executive, A.G. Lafley.
The University received 285 sponsored program awards from 82 sponsors totaling $41.4
million during the year – a 75 percent increase over the past seven years. The federal
government continues to provide the majority of support projects, accounting for 87
percent of total award dollars. Among federal agencies, the Department of Health and
Human Services became the University’s largest sponsor providing over $18 million.
The $4.1 million from industry and non-profit organizations accounted for 10 percent of
the total awards.
National Science Foundation Director Dr. Rita Colwell was the keynote speaker for the
Annual George Washington Carver Convocation and praised Tuskegee for its research
capabilities. NSF contributed $1.7 million to the University, one of the largest awards to
any HBCU.
Business, engineering, and allied health students will likewise benefit from extensive
bioethics education through a recent $125,000 Ford grant to the Tuskegee University
National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care.
For the seventh straight year, Tuskegee alumni have contributed in excess of $1 million
to their alma mater, including a small cadre of 476 dedicated graduates who gave nearly
60 percent of that total. Tuskegee’s capital initiatives were also bolstered by fiscal support
from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), AmSouth BanCorp.
