Stillman College Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
Stillman College (not to be confused with the fictional:”Hillman College”) is a historically black liberal arts college founded in 1876 and located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The Institution’s history dates back to 1874 when a group of Presbyterians from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, headed by the Reverend Doctor Charles Allen Stillman, presented an overture to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States asking the Church to establish a training school for Black male ministers. In 1898, the school, now named Stillman Institute in honor of Dr. Stillman who had died in 1895, moved to its present location in the western section of Tuscaloosa. During these years, the school acquired its present campus tract of over 100 acres, organized a junior and senior high school and established a junior college program, which was accredited in 1937. In 1948, the name was changed to Stillman College, and the following year Stillman was expanded into a four-year college. Stillman graduated its first baccalaureate class in 1951 and was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1953. Under Dr. Hay, seven new buildings were constructed: a gymnasium, a library, an administration-classroom building, two women’s residence halls, a prayer chapel, and a college center. Dr. McNealey brought an emphasis on technology to the College, connecting all buildings with fiber optic cable, providing computers and training for faculty and staff, and creating new laboratories for students.

I was the 1st white graduate of Stillman College during a time when racism was at it's peak (1974-1978). Although I was forced to deal with issues that most college students don't encounter, I felt I got a top notch education that prepared me to pursue my goals. Looking back, the experiences built character and prepared me for Corporate America and wonderful life beyond college. Any college is what you make it whether you are on a white campus or an HBCU. Go Stillman Tigers!

I am now attending Stillman College, and based on what I have learned so far, it is a great school to attend. The staff really care about you and the accomplishments you make. They are like parents who give good advice and points you in the right direction. However, I really think the community should get more involved in what Stillman has to offer and to also donate to the school to help increase their popularity and programs. Go Stillman!
