Join us for the Lantern Festival! 🏮

The Lantern Festival is a special Tusculum tradition where students who are graduating in May of 2026 and December of 2026 to gather and celebrate community, reflection, and connection. During the event, participants pass down a lantern to an underclassman and hand out pins to faculty/staff and enjoy an evening together as we celebrate our campus spirit.

Whether you’re coming with friends or meeting new people, it’s a great opportunity to relax, reflect, and be part of a meaningful Tusculum experience.

📅 Wednesday, April 8 at 6:00 p.m.
📍 Chalmers Conference Center

Be sure to register before the deadline March 27th!

Welcome back, everyone! It's the start of the semester, which means the start of events occurring on campus once more! Come to the Aux Gym tomorrow at 6pm for an RA led dodgeball event!

As you may or may not know, the proper "Angel Tree" run through the Salvation Army is not doing so in Greeneville this year as it is typically done through Greeneville's Food Bank. Whatever the reason may be, there are still kids in Greeneville that need a visit from Santa!

This year, we are partnering with local schools to try to do just that! Even if we can only get a few kids some Christmas gifts this year, it's better than if we had not tried at all.

Through the QR code or the Sign Up Genius link in our bio is the available Tusculum Angel Tree kids that need gifts this year. We only have 2 left that need to be claimed! When you sign up, you should be able to see some of their details as far as sizes and some of their interests.

Drop off any gifts for your selected Tusculum Angel Tree kid by December 8th in the Office of Student Affairs in Niswonger.

Thank you so much for supporting our local kids!

Finals are right around the corner, but so is Midnight Breakfast! Join us in the cafeteria anywhere between 10pm-12am on December 8th to fuel up for those last big assignments and finals the following week!

Be sure to visit the cafeteria today starting at 11am for a little Thanksgiving right here on campus!

Join us in the cafeteria for a Halloween themed lunch October 30th!

Mark your calendars for November 10th for Marsh Regional Blood Center's blood drive! Check out their website for more details, but they do accept walk-ins, and each donor gets a t-shirt for the holidays!
