The INSIDER - Spring/Summer 2024

For the 2024 Commencement Address, the College enlisted Dr. Joseph H. Silver, Sr., President and CEO of Silver and Associates, a higher education consulting firm in Atlanta, Georgia. As a renowned higher education leader, with notable roles that include tenured professorships, university president, university system vice chancellor, and vice president of a higher education accreditor, Dr. Silver delivered an inspiring and powerful message to the Class of 2024. Providing his invaluable insight and experiences as a leader, Dr. Silver honed in on the fact that their education from an HBCU, specifically from Texas College, is unmatched and has undoubtedly prepared them for their next step in life. Following Dr. Silver’s impartation of wisdom, the graduating students officially crossed over into alumni status as their degree was conferred by President Dwight J. Fennell, signifying the official culmination of their successful academic endeavors. Following the transition of their tassels from the right to left side, the graduates excitedly crossed the stage to greet the President and take a photograph to commemorate the momentous achievement.
