Huston-Tillotson University Featured for Raising its Community Profile

Colette Pierce Burnette, president of Huston-Tillotson University, is interviewed by Kate McGee of Austin's NPR station, KUT 90.5.  The segment, "East Austin Is Growing And Huston-Tillotson Hopes Its Roots Keep A Community Intact," highlights initiatives designed to raise the profile of the institution by building stronger links to the communities it serves.

Huston-Tillotson traces its roots to Samuel Huston College and Tillotson  College.  The two institutions merged in 1952 to form Huston-Tillotson  College.  The name was later changed to Huston-Tillotson University in 2005.
