The Tarleton State community mourns the passing of Dr. Joe Long, alumnus and passionate supporter of the university.

Dr. Long attended John Tarleton Agricultural College in 1947, earning an associate degree in government and history. He was also a proud member of the ROTC program.

His commitment to Tarleton State continued throughout his life. In 2021, the Joe R. and Teresa L. Long Endowed Scholarship was established to support students in their educational journeys. Through their generosity, the Longs made one of the largest gifts in university history, helping launch Tarleton State’s proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine and expand opportunities for future physicians. Their commitment to serving others and supporting underserved students continues through the Lozano Long Division of Global, Community and First-Gen Initiatives, which bears their name.

We extend our deepest condolences to Dr. Long’s family and friends. 💜
