We are pleased to provide you with the President’s Report for the annual period 2021-2022. This retrospective review is to provide you with a recapitulation of informational insight of facts, events, and occurrences that the College has experienced during this period. It should be noted that 2021-2022, in many instances has continued to be unprecedented; notwithstanding, you will note that from this report the administration remained committed and steadfast to deliver the institution’s Mission. Many thanks to those who have contributed with your prayers and financial resources to make “Educational Dreams Become a Reality,” for our students. As a reminder, Texas College was founded in 1894, by members of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, once referred to as the “Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in America.” The college remains in the location of its founding. Following its founding, the College was chartered in 1907 by the State of Texas to operate for the education of youths, both male and female with the offering of literary, scientific and classical education, wherein shall be taught theology, normal training of teachers, music, commercial and industrial training and the agricultural and mechanical sciences. The Mission of the College was established and undergirded with Core Values which we follow today. And, although the Mission is reviewed periodically (and updated as needed by the Board of Trustees), the “heart” of the Mission reflects the

founding principles which embrace the offering of an education that “shall prepare students with competencies in critical and creative thinking related to the knowledge, skills and abilities as defined in the areas of study. The College shall provide an environment to inspire intellectual, spiritual, ethical, moral and social development, which empowers graduates to engage in life-long learning, leadership and service.” The Mission is delivered through the six Core Values of:  Academic Excellence;  Integrity;  Perseverance;  Social Responsibility;  Tolerance; and  Community Service. And, it is from this Mission and Core Values that the Vision Statement of Texas College has been established as [an institution] that is “a creative, culturally diverse, having an inclusive environment that prepares students who aspire to be purpose-driven, financially secure and marketable leaders.” It is from this foundation that Texas College has and continues to exist for more than 128 years.

Texas College was founded in 1894 in Tyler, Texas and has remained at its founding location for 127 years. The institution was established by ministers of the Christian Methodist Episcopal (CME) Church to facilitate the educational needs of African Americans, as an underserved population in the area of east Texas. In 1907, The State of Texas issued the institution a Charter that endorsed her to operate as a corporation with the rights and privileges to function as a college. A specific narrative of the Charter reads, “…The corporation is a religious and educational non-profit organization organized for the purpose: to found and operate a college, under the supervision care and ownership of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in America for the education of youth, male and female, in all the branches of a literary, scientific and classical education, wherein shall be taught also theology, normal training of Teachers, music, commercial and industrial training, and the agriculture and mechanical sciences … and to have, hold, own, teach and do everything necessary to enable it to build, maintain, equip and conduct a University of the first class at the City of Tyler in Smith County, Texas, including theology in all of the branches, science in all its departments; agriculture, horticulture, and all things pertaining thereto; and the industrial arts; together with the right to establish and confer degrees and grant diplomas.” In keeping with the founding expectations, the “heart” of the mission today reminds us that “… Our mission continues to embody the principles of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. The College shall prepare students with competencies in critical and creative thinking related to the knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in areas of study. Additionally, the College shall provide an environment to inspire intellectual, spiritual, ethical, moral and social development which empowers graduates to engage in life-long learning, leadership and service.” The College today delivers the mission with the incorporation of core values that address Academic Excellence, Integrity, Perseverance, Social Responsibility, Tolerance and Community Service. Texas College responds to the requests and needs of all of its constituents. Constituent groups generally consist of specific accrediting bodies and its personnel, alumni, administrators, faculty, staff, students and other community partners.

The official enrollment for 2021-2022 is reported demographically in the proceeding pages. The enrollment for the period reflects a 21% decrease. When surveys were conducted to discern the impact on enrollment, the administration received student commentaries that categorically reported influences associated with COVID 19. Many commentaries were related to both direct and extraneous variables e.g., furloughs from employment; having to return home to assist parents; loss of childcare; limited family resources of support; and daycare closures, to name a few. Below, the Texas College seal is divided into 74 separate tiles. Each individual tile represents 10 different students that enrolled at Texas College this academic year, perpetuating the institution’s 128-year legacy. The number of tiles total 740.

In spite of challenging extraneous factors, the fiscal posture of the College remained considerably positive. This status was deemed as such because of good fiscal management of the College’s resources; maintaining conservative fiscal operations and consistent monitoring of internal controls by administration. Further, the College’s qualification for, and receipt of federal funds proved to be helpful. The well-being of the fiscal operations was defined by fiscal ratios the College is held accountable to achieve. The ratios and outcomes were reported as:  N ൾඍ O ඉൾඋൺඍංඇ඀ R ൾඏൾඇඎൾ R ൺඍංඈඌ : This established how efficient the institution is using its money for operations. The College has a funding surplus of 27.5%.  R ൾඍඎඋඇ O ඇ N ൾඍ A ඌඌൾඍඌ R ൺඍංඈ : This is a measure of the financial performance of the college, which also considered the use of assets, when applicable. The College has grown its financial base to 119.6%, per revenue performance.  P උංආൺඋඒ R ൾඌൾඋඏൾ R ൺඍංඈ : This measures the College’s fiscal health by comparing the accumulated reserves to the annual operating demands. The results showed sufficient reserves on hand for operations at 1.43 % or 16 months.  V ංඌංൻංඅංඍඒ R ൺඍංඈ F අൾඑංൻංඅංඍඒ : This showed a direct measure of the amount of net assets to cover debt. The recommended range of the ratio is between 1.25x and 2.00x; the institution had a ratio of 2.21x.  C ඈආඉඈඌංඍൾ F ංඇൺඇർංൺඅ I ඇൽൾඑ : This is a measure of the financial health of the institution based on using four ratios. The general target is 3.0; the College had a ratio of 8.4. Stated differently, the College achieved the following: 1. Total Assets – having increased by 12% and the Change in Net Assets also increased; 2. Cash on Hand – having increased by 19%; 3. Investments increased by 30%; 4. Physical Plant Assets grew by 3%; and 5. Liabilities decreased by 63% and other sources of income arose by 68%.
