Tennessee’s Independent Colleges and Universities have helped shape some of our nation’s most distinguished and impressive citizens - from Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners to faith leaders, entrepreneurs, and elected officials. 

The Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association (TICUA) created the TICUA Hall of Fame to honor the distinguished alumni of its 34 member institutions while highlighting their contributions to our state, nation, and world.

The honorees exemplify the value of the liberal arts education and how it can be used in a variety of career fields.
