A tradition of spirit contin- ues to foster as TSU enters its second century. The Trojan spirit is more than cheering at a pep rally, 1 building a homecoming dis- play, or supporting one of the national championship teams. It is boundless enthu- siasm for all TSU represents ... its academics, sports,or- ganizations, dramatic pro- ductions, and so much more. The happy, prideful face of our mascot T-Roy denotes the spirit found in students, alumni, and other fans. Pride is an integral part of what comprises the Trojan spirit.
