President’s Society

Founded in 1794, the President’s Society honors those students who combine integrity, maturity, and a well-rounded personality with University-wide awareness, participation, and leadership, demonstrated by their significant contributions to the academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular life of Tusculum University. President’s Society members are Ambassadors who support the President at various events and functions, and assist admissions through recruiting.

Throughout the academic year members will be designated special assignments at various University events and functions. The President’s Society helps with campus visits, preparing swag bags, will assist with campus events (including Open House, Pioneer Quest, club fairs,) and more.

Members have access to growth opportunities including workshops on topics such as interview and presentation skills, networking events with industry leaders, cultural outings, and opportunities to build their leadership skills by representing Tusculum University at important functions.
