Tennessee State University President Glenda Glover announced Monday she is retiring from her position leading the historically Black university, a decade after she returned home to lead her alma mater.
Glover will depart at the end of the spring 2024 semester, she announced during a news conference from the TSU campus.
"Serving as president of Tennessee State University has been the honor of a lifetime," Glover said. "This is where I got my start. I came to Tennessee State University, graduated in 1974. From 1974 to 2024, a 50-year blessing. And now it's only appropriate that I announce my retirement from the place that gave me my start."
Now, Glover said her voice is needed on a "more national platform," though she had no specific plans for her future.
