“Tougaloo, Eagle Queen, we love thee…”
The Washington Area Tougaloo Alumni Chapter attracts alumni, attendees, and “friends” of Tougaloo College who have a vested interest and dedication to the mission and values of the College, from across the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, and all areas associated with the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. Further, the chapter is committed to growing, engaging, and fostering community among its members as well as creating a space for Tougaloo Pride and traditions throughout the DMV.
Join the Washington Area Tougaloo Alumni Chapter as we celebrate the reboot of Mississippi on the Potomac. After a four-year hiatus, we are back like never before, ready to celebrate Mississippi on the Potomac to raise SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS for deserving Tougaloo College students.
