One aspect many high school students look for when they are deciding what school to attend is the opportunity for international travel/study abroad programs. We realize this and place a high value on providing international exposure for every Tusculum student. If you haven't thought about traveling overseas, I would really encourage you to consider it.
At Tusculum, you will interact with students from almost 20 different countries, but that is not the extent of the international exposure here. Every student will be provided an opportunity to take advantage of some form of international travel.
To read about some of the places that our students and professors have already been, check out our Center for Global Studies web site by clicking on this link. This website will not only allow you to get in contact with the proper staff members to assist you, it will also give student and professor testimonials and pictures from places like London, Costa Rica, India, and Austria.

A Time to be Thankful
It's so hard to believe the holiday season is already upon us! It seems Thanksgiving has arrived early this year, but of course we all know that isn't possible, haha!
Tusculum College has a lot to be thankful for this year.... we welcomed two new counselors to the office back in January... the college's first female President in history took office in April... and we saw a record number of new students arrive on campus in August (370!). We are blessed with wonderful students, faculty, and staff all across our campus!
As we look ahead to 2010, we're excited about the students we are meeting duing the admission process, and eager to see who will arrive on campus next August!
On behalf of the Office of Admission and Tusculum College, we wish you and your family the best on this Thanksgiving, and hope you will be able to take the time to appreciate the things you are thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

TC's International Students Honored at Ceremony
The international flags in the Niswonger Commons Living Room at Tusculum College were revitalized with new flags representing the College's international student population in a ceremony on Friday, November 13. Five new flags were added to those that represent current students and alumni, and the ceremony was held as part of the College's International Education Week activities.
Tusculum College currently has 38 flags representing current and former students, including the five added in the ceremony. Currently enrolled students come from Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Argentina, England, Germany, Guatemala, Venezuela, Croatia, Honduras, Sweden, Taiwan and the Ukraine. The five new flags added included those for Chile, Finland, Israel, Serbia and Switzerland.
One additional flag for the Dominican Republic will be added later in the year, as a student from that country was recently identified, according to Bonnie Taylor, student life coordinator at the College and coordinator of the International Education Week events.
As part of the ceremony, which included several of the College's international students, senior Estefania Chavez of Honduras spoke to the group about attending Tusculum College and her experiences as an international student.
"I appreciate Tusculum and all the faculty and staff that have made it feel like home," she said. She added that in addition to her education, she has learned a lot about American culture and the cultures of the other international students she has come to know.
Brooke Haymaker, this year's vice president of the Student Government Association, also spoke and talked about how the international community at Tusculum really provides a diversity not found in other places. "Tusculum gives you not only an academic, but also a cultural education." Haymaker is a junior, pre-med major from Kettering, Ohio.
Finishing off the program were sisters Mary Ann and Adriana Vizcarrondo of Venezuela. Mary Ann, a senior business major told the group that Tusculum College was a good choice for her. "I like the small environment. Everyone is very supportive and made the transition very easy." Adriana, a junior business and economics major, agreed. "There was a culture shock at first, but the students here are very open to cultural differences."

Tusculum Wins Blood Drive
Brooke Haymaker, vice president of the Tusculum College Student Government Association, accepts the Blood Drive Bowl trophy Saturday during halftime of the Tusculum College - Carson-Newman football game. Tusculum won the seventh annual Blood Drive Bowl that benefits Medic Regional Blood Center by collecting 190 pints of blood last week, topping Carson-Newman's 139 pints. The friendly competition between the colleges is held each year during the week prior to the football game between the two schools. This is the second year in a row that Tusculum has won the event, whose main purpose is to collect much needed blood for use by hospitals in the region. Collections were held not only at the Tusculum campus in Greeneville, but also at the Knoxville and Morristown sites and at the K-mart in Greeneville.
