and the 14 sports that the College sponsors. 

In his fi rst fi ve years at the helm of the Pioneer Athle� c Department, De- 

Busk has guided Tusculum to outstanding seasons. During his tenure as athle� c

HEAD COACH MIKE JOY 

Head coach Mike Joy has been at the helm of the Tusculum College women’s soccer program for the past 15 seasons. Those 15 

years have been an era of success, resul� ng in championships and na� onal postseason play. 

Joy rejuvenated the program upon his arrival in Greeneville in 1997, and TC women’s soccer has established itself as one of the 

most formidable programs in the South Atlan� c Conference and NCAA Division II. Since 2000, the Pioneers have claimed either the 

SAC regular season championship, the SAC Tournament � tle or advanced to the NCAA II Tournament in all but three seasons. During 

his storied tenure, Joy’s teams have claimed four SAC Championships and four SAC Tournament � tles in the last 10 years. Tusculum 

has also accounted for a remarkable 14 straight non-losing seasons during Joy’s watch. 

Coach Joy’s squads have grown accustomed to facing tough compe� � on, as TC tradi� onally plays a challenging schedule consis� 

ng of a number of Top 25 opponents. His desire to face some of Division II’s best teams makes Joy’s 200-91-21 coaching record at 

Tusculum all the more impressive. He is one of the winningest all-� me coaches in NCAA Division II women’s soccer, ranking fi � h with 

286 total victories and 17th with a .699 career win percentage. With a 72-29-7 record (.699) against SAC opponents, Joy ranks second 

all-� me among SAC women’s soccer coaches in league victories (72). He also places second with 200 overall wins (since 1998). 

The Pioneers ba� led to a third-place fi nish in the SAC in 2011, despite facing three na� onally-ranked opponents and dropping 

three games in over� me. Tusculum fi nished 10-7-2 overall and 5-4 overall, highlighted by a fi ve-match winning streak at midseason. 

The Pioneers’ run in the SAC tournament was derailed by a loss in penalty kicks on the road in the quarterfi nal round. 

Despite a rash of season-ending injuries to key players, the Pioneers persevered to a 9-9-1 record in 2010. A 1-0 over� me upset 

of second-seeded Carson-Newman on the road in the SAC quarterfi nals propelled Tusculum to the SAC semifi nals for the 10th � me 

since joining the conference full-� me in 1999. 

Tusculum returned to prominence during the 2009 season, pos� ng a 15-5-3 record en route to the program’s fi � h NCAA Tournament 

appearance. Joy guided the Pioneers to the program’s 12th straight winning season, including Tusculum’s fi rst-ever win over 2007 na� onal champion Tampa. The Pioneers 

posted a 6-2 record in SAC play, fi nishing second in the conference behind Carson-Newman while advancing to the semifi nal round of the SAC Tournament. 

The Pioneers received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament a� er their semifi nal appearance in the SAC Tournament, defea� ng conference foe Newberry 2-1 in the 

opening round before falling to host and archrival Carson-Newman 1-0 in the second round. Three Pioneers earned All-Region honors, while junior midfi elder Courtney Turner 

was named to the NSCAA/adidas All-America Team for the second � me in her career. 

The Pioneers posted their 11th consecu� ve winning season in 2008 with a 10-9-1 record, fi nishing fi � h in the SAC standings with a 4-4 mark in conference play. Tusculum 

received a total of 14 individual honors, including Danielle Tanner who was named SAC Player of the Year for the fi rst � me in program history. Tanner was also tabbed as the 

Daktronics All-Southeast Region Player of the Year while becoming the fi rst player in school history to record back-to-back 20-goal seasons. 

His 2007 squad posted a 15-7 worksheet facing one of the toughest schedules in the country. The Pioneers made their third straight NCAA Tournament appearance, earning 

the top seed in the Southeast Region. The Pioneers won six of their last eight matches to advance to the Regional 

fi nals before falling at No. 6 Columbus State. TC fi nished the year ranked No. 14 in the country, marking the third straight 

season Tusculum has ended the year na� na� onally ranked. Three players earned All-Region honors, while Turner was named 

to the NSCAA/NCAA II All-America Team. 

In 2006, the Pioneers didn’t claim the SAC Championship or SAC Tournament � tle for the fi rst � me in seven years. 

But Tusculum made its strongest na� na� onal postseason run in school history, pos� pos� ng regional wins over Armstrong Atlan� Atlan� c 

State University and Carson-Newman College to claim the 2006 NCAA II Southeast Region Championship and advance to 

the NCAA Elite Eight for the fi rst � � me in school history. Tusculum’s No. 8 NSCAA/NCAA II na� na� onal ranking was the best 

lis� lis� ng at the end of a season in school history. Tusculum ended the year 14-3-3. Three players garnered All-Region accolades, 

while defender Ashley Moreira was named to the NSCAA/NCAA II All-America Team. 

Joy’s 2005 Pioneer squad concluded the season with a 12-6-2 record and a No. 18 na� onal ranking in the fi nal 

NSCAA/NCAA II poll. TC earned its second NCAA Tournament berth and was the top seed and host for the Southeast 

Regional. The squad also captured its fourth Food Lion SAC Tournament championship. Five Pioneer players were named 

to the All-South Atlan� Atlan� c Conference Team, while two players earned All-Region recogni� recogni� on. 

In 2004, Tusculum concluded the season with a 14-4-1 overall record and a 6-1 SAC mark, which � ed the Pioneers 

with eventual NCAA Final Four par� par� cipant Carson-Newman atop the fi nal league standings. When the campaign came to 

a close, TC had faced fi ve Top 25 opponents in a total of six matches, pos� pos� ng a 3-1-1 record in those contests. 

In Joy’s debut season in 1997, the Pioneers showed marked improvement with a 10-11-1 record. They followed 

with a 13-7-2 mark in 1998. A� A� er a sluggish slu 2-4 start, Tusculum won 13 of its last 15 matches en route to a 15-6 showing in 

1999. Included in that that tally was a 6-2 record and a third place fi nish in TC’s fi rst season of South Atlan� Atlan� c Conference play. 

The 2000 campaign was a new season and a new century for the Pioneers and what a year it was. The Pioneers 

recorded recorded an impressive 19-3 record, including a perfect 7-0 mark in league play while capturing the SAC regular season 

and tournament � � tles. TC outscored the tournament opposi� opposi� on by a 21-0 margin and became only the second SAC 

The Joy Family 

Kathy and Mike 

squad to to win both � � tles outright in a season and the fi rst to do so since 1991. The 2000 team smashed the record books 

by establishing or matching 23 team and individual school records, 11 SAC records and one NCAA Division II record. 

Joy’s 2001 team took over where the 2000 team le� off . The Pioneers captured both the regular season and conference 

tournament championships for a second consecu� ve season, fi nishing with a 16-2-3 overall record and 5-1-1 mark in confer- 

ence play. Tusculum became the fi rst school in SAC history to win back-to-back outright regular season and tournament � tles. 

Faced with yet another tough schedule,, his 2002 team went 13-7-1, winning a share of its third straight SAC � tle. The 

schedule included all three teams that held the No. 1 na� onal ranking that year. 

A� er several years of just missing the cut, Joy’s 2003 team reached the NCAA Division II Tournament, advancing to the 

Southeast Region fi nal before bowing out to eventual na� onal champion Kennesaw State. Prior to the season-ending loss, the 

squad had played some of its fi nest soccer of the season, pu� ng together four straight shutout wins, including three in the SAC 

Tournament, to claim its third tournament � tle in four years. 

A na� ve of Dallas, Texas, Joy came to Tusculum a� er a successful fi ve-year run at Midway College. While at the Midway, Ky. 

school, Joy posted an impressive 86-25-5 record, while capturing fi ve consecu� ve Kentucky Intercollegiate Athle� c Conference 

(KIAC) � tles. He also guided the Eagles to a record fi ve NAIA regional championship appearances. Joy’s teams claimed two Mid- 

South Region � tles and earned back-to-back berths in the NAIA Na� onal Championships in 1994 and 1995. His squads were also 

ranked in the NAIA Top 20 during all fi ve seasons, and remarkably, his teams never lost a conference match during his watch. 

For his eff orts, the 1978 University of Kentucky graduate has earned NAIA District 32, NSCAA/Umbro Midsouth and Great 

Lakes Region Coach of the Year accolades. More impressively, he has been nominated three � mes for Na� onal Coach of the 

Year considera� on. 

In 1990, Joy returned to his alma mater to start the women’s soccer program at Kentucky. While compe� ng as a club team, 

the Lady Kats posted a 20-12-2 record during his two seasons in Lexington. Joy served double-duty on the Pioneer athle� cs staff 

for three years, also ac� ng as head coach of the Tusculum men and women’s tennis programs. In his successful three-year run 

at the net, he accounted for a combined 79-64 record for both programs. The 2000-01 season was his fi nest, as the men’s squad 

posted a 13-8 tally and fi nished third in the South Atlan� c Conference. The women’s team also shined that year, as the Pioneers 

went 13-10 and became the fi rst Tusculum team to earn a berth in the NCAA Division II Tournament. 

For his eff orts in the 2000-01 season, Joy was honored by his peers as the recipient of the Art Argauer Award, which 

recognizes the Tusculum College Coach of the Year of the school’s 14 sponsored sports. He earned the Argauer Award again in 

the 2006-07 campaign. 

He is also the director and founder of the “Joy of Soccer” camp, which is in its 19th year in 2012. 

Joy and his wife Kathy, who is an academic advisor for the Tusculum College Graduate and Profession Studies program, 

are the parents of three children, Heather, Lesli, and Jus� n. Heather graduated from Tusculum in 1999 a� er two seasons as 

goalkeeper. Lesli is a graduate of Midway College, and Jus� n currently lives in Lexington, Ky. Coach Joy also has one grandson, 

Tyler and fi ve granddaughters, Madison, Brooklynn, Jaydan, Briana and Alexa.

SEASON PROSPECTUS 

The Tusculum College women’s soccer team welcomes back eight starters 

from last year’s team, which fi nished 10-7-2 overall and in a share of third place 

in the South Atlan� c Conference with a 5-4 league record. 

Head coach Mike Joy begins his 16th season on the Pioneer sidelines with 

200 wins as Tusculum’s 

coach and a veteran squad 

that returns everyone except 

the fi ve seniors from 

last year’s team. 

As is typical for a Tusculum 

team, they will play 

a challenging schedule that 

includes a pair of games 

against preseason na� onally-ranked 

opponents and 

features road trips to West 

Head Coach Mike Joy 

Virginia, Georgia and North 

Carolina in non-conference 

ac� on. 

FORWARDS 

Once again, the focus of a� en� on for Pioneer opponents will be forward 

Tramicka James. The senior from Wilson, N.C. enters her fi nal season � ed for 

third in program history with 43 goals, � ed for ninth with 16 assists and third 

in points with 102. A preseason fi rst-team All-SAC honoree, James is a two- 

� me fi rst-team All-SAC, two-� me fi rst-team Daktronics All-Region and two-� me 

NSCAA All-Region honoree. Last season, she led SAC in goals (15) for the second 

straight season and led conference with 34 points. 

Joining James up front is senior Kim Brown (Scarborough, Ontario), who 

ranked second on the team with six goals and 12 points last season. Brown 

showed par� cular accuracy on her shots, tallying her six goals on just 13 shots 

on goal. 

Among the other 

weapons weapons up front for the 

Pioneers is freshman Taylor 

Lewis, who fi nished a 

dis� dis� nguished prep career 

at Willingboro (N.J.) High 

School with a school-record 

118 goals, including 38 as a 

senior. 

Also expected to 

Senior Tramicka James 

contribute at forward are 

freshmen Jodee Giarratana 

(Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.), Bri� any Bowers (Taylor Mill, Ky.) and Pa� Jordan 

(Crossville, Tenn.). 

MIDFIELDERS 

In the midfi eld, preseason fi rst-team All-SAC honoree Monica Perez (Aus- 

� n, Texas) returns for her junior season. Perez was a second-team All-SAC member 

last year a� er star� ng all 19 games at a� acking midfi eld, where she recorded 

three assists. 

Another preseason All-Conference selec� on, second-team member Jana 

Linke (Freiburg, Germany), is coming off a solid freshman season in which she 

too started all 19 games and scored three goals, including two game-winners. 

Junior Amy Neltner (Wilder, Ky.) started 15 games last season and fi nished 

with a goal and two assists for four points, and sophomore Nikki Arthur (Brights 

Grove, Ontario) is back a� er appearing in all 19 games as a rookie and registering 

two assists. 

Freshmen Gabrielle Whi� and Courtney Hackney, who were high school 

teammates at Mason (Ohio) High School, are expected to be factors in the midfi 

eld for the Pioneers along with another suburban Cincinna� na� ve, Allison 

Thomas (Liberty Twp., Ohio). 

Addi� onal depth is provided by senior Zaily Mejia (Sevierville, Tenn.), juniors 

Ka� e Capel (Waverly, Tenn.) and Jenique Thombs (Scarborough, Ontario) 

and freshman Kora Neyland (Newport News, Va.). 

DEFENDERS 

Tusculum’s strength may be on the back line, where veterans Kourtney Kavic 

and Amy Morford are the anchors of a unit that allowed more than two goals 

just once in the Pioneers’ fi nal 13 games of 2011. 

Kavic (Oakville, Ontario) is in her second year as a defensive starter a� er 

scoring 10 goals in two seasons up front for Tusculum. Morford, a junior from 

Versailles, Kentucky, was a workhorse for the Pioneers last season having sat out 

just 23 of a possible 1,701 minutes. 

Providing support will be junior transfer Carly Whitman (Rochelle, Ill) and 

junior Ka� e Chadwick (New Ringgold, Pa.), who can fi ll in both on defense and 

at midfi eld. A poten� al standout on the defense for the Pioneers could be freshman 

Alisha Pugh (Sandy, England). 

Junior Shanice Campbell (Ajax, Ontario) and sophomores Coneisha Waugh 

(Ajax, Ontario) and Mia Damico (Etowah, Tenn.) will give the Pioneers addi� onal 

depth on defense. Campbell saw ac� on in 12 games last season, while Waugh 

and Damico are coming off redshirt campaigns. 

GOALKEEPERS 

The Pioneers will dress four goalkeepers, led by sophomore Marissa Williams 

who was a third-team Daktronics All-Region honoree last season. Williams 

(Canton, Mich.) compiled a 10-6-2 record and led the SAC in shutouts with seven 

en route to a 1.22 goals against average. 

The two keepers behind Williams - fi rst-year senior Erica Pomana (Spartanburg, 

S.C.) and freshman 

Emily Pannocchia (New 

Tazewell, Tenn.) - have all 

been solid in preseason for 

the Pioneers and will ba� ba� le 

for for posi� posi� ons on the depth 

chart. 

SCHEDULE 

A� er opening the sea- 

son with matches against 

Kutztown and East Strouds- 

Sophomore Marissa Williams 

burg at the Concord KickKickoff Classic, the Pioneers 

will open their home schedule on Wednesday, Sept. 5 with Concord. Another 

challenging weekend awaits the Pioneers Sept. 7-9 when Tusculum goes to the 

Bobcat Shootout at Georgia College. Tusculum will play preseason 23rd-ranked 

Saint Leo on Friday, Sept. 7 and will face perennial power Nova Southeastern on 

Sundayt, Sept. 9. 

The Pioneers will host three straight matches at Pioneer Field against UNC 

Pembroke (Sept. 12), Lees-McRae (Sept. 17) and Mars Hill (Sept. 19) in the South 

Atlan� c Conference opener. A� er a trip to Anderson on Sept. 22 in a rematch of last 

year’s SAC quarterfi nal ba� le, the Pioneers will welcome Brevard on Sept. 26. 

Two road matches follow for Tusculum, a Sept. 29 contest at Belmont Abbey 

and a matchup with rival Carson-Newman on Oct. 3. The Pioneers then play 

four straight conference games, three of them at home: Newberry (Oct. 7), Catawba 

(Oct. 13) and preseason ninth-ranked Lenoir-Rhyne (Oct. 17). The only 

road match in that span is a visit to Lincoln Memorial on Oct. 10. 

The fi nal week of the regular season sees the Pioneers head to Wingate on 

Oct. 27 to close the conference slate. 

The Food Lion SAC Tournament begins Oct. 30 on campus sites, with the 

semifi nals and fi nals to be held Nov. 2 and 4 at Rock Hill, S.C. The NCAA Division 

II Tournament begins Nov. 9 and culminates with the Final Four at Evans, Ga. on 

Nov. 29 and Dec. 1. 

OUTLOOK 

Tusculum was picked third in the SAC Preseason Coaches Poll, trailing defending 

SAC tournament champion Wingate which grabbed seven of 10 fi rstplace 

votes and took the top spot with 79 points. Lenoir-Rhyne added the other 

three fi rst-place votes and amassed 74 points for second place in the poll, followed 

by Tusculum (65), Newberry (48) and Catawba (45). 

The second fi ve was headed by a � e for sixth by Anderson and Lincoln Memorial 

(42 points apiece), Mars Hill (26), Carson-Newman (20) and Brevard (9).

The Pioneers fought through another challenging regular-season schedule to fi nish in a � e for third place in the South Atlan� c 

Conference in 2011. Tusculum wrapped up the 2011 season with a 10-7-2 overall record and a 5-4-0 mark in the SAC, good for a share 

of third place with Anderson and Newberry. 

Other than a fi ve-game winning streak from Sept. 21 through Oct. 8, the Pioneers scuffl ed to fi nd consistency throughout the season. 

The Pioneers alternated wins and losses for their fi rst six matches, including losses to na� onally-ranked Columbus State (2-1) and 

Armstrong Atlan� c State (5-1). The win streak came to an abrupt end with a 5-0 loss at Wingate on Oct. 11, a setback that led to four 

straight winless matches including two double-over� me losses and a � e. 

Junior Tramicka James stepped to the forefront in wins over Catawba and Carson-Newman, scoring the game-winner with 18 

seconds le� in a 2-1 win over the Indians and ne� ng her 100th career point with an assist in a 3-0 win at Carson Newman. Tusculum 

nearly pulled off a huge upset in their regular-season fi nale, taking a 1-0 lead into the second half against fi � h-ranked Lenoir-Rhyne 

before the Bears scored two quick tallies to escape with a 2-1 win. 

Pioneer head coach Mike Joy also reached a milestone in his squad’s victory over Carson-Newman, collec� ng his 200th victory as head 

coach at Tusculum in a 15-year career at the school. Joy has a 200-91-21 record with the Pioneers and a 286-116-26 mark through 20 

years as a collegiate head coach. 

In all, 12 of the Pioneers’ 19 matches were decided by either one goal or went to over� me. Remarkably, Tusculum trailed at half- 

� me just once all season, in a match that ended in a 2-2 � e at Young Harris on Oct. 13. Three of the Pioneers’ seven losses came in 

double over� me, and the Pioneers were shut out in defeat just twice all season. 

Tusculum defended its home turf in fi ne fashion, compiling a 6-2 record at Pioneer Field and outscoring the visitors by a margin of 18- 

9. 

James lived up to the focus placed on her entering her junior season, leading the SAC and ranking among the NCAA Division II 

leaders in goals (15) and points (34). In her 61-match career, James has ne� ed 43 goals and dished out 16 assists for 102 points to rank 

third on the Pioneer career scoring list. 

Support for James in the off ensive department came from junior Kim Brown, who scored six goals, and senior Michelle Meade who 

fi nished with four goals and a pair of assists for 10 points. Sophomore Amy Neltner stepped forward in the closing stages of the season, 

collec� ng a goal and two assists for four points in 19 matches. 

The Pioneer midfi eld was led by freshman Jana Linke, who stepped in to start all 19 matches and score three goals, including a pair 

of game-winners, while the defensive unit was paced by sophomore Amy Morford, senior Jessica Lee and junior Kourtney Kavic. 

Freshman Marissa Williams was a key part of the Pioneer defensive eff ort, star� ng 18 matches and pos� ng a 1.22 goals against average 

and a .816 save percentage. Williams led NCAA Division II in saves for a por� on of the season, and fi nished the regular season with 102 

stops and seven shutouts.

TUSCULUM COLLEGE 

TUSCULUM HISTORY 

Tusculum College is the oldest college in Tennessee and the 28th oldest in the na� on. 

In addi� on, Tusculum is the oldest coeduca� onal ins� tu� on affi liated with the Presbyterian 

Church (U.S.A.) and an early na� onal pioneer in the admission of women. Tusculum 

accepted women students early in its history, and it is notable that by the turn of the 20th 

century more than half of its students were women. 

The roots of Tusculum College are buried deep in early American fron� er history. 

In 1794, George Washington was president of a young country and the state of Tennessee 

was s� ll two years away from becoming a reality. In what is now East Tennessee, 

Hezekiah Balch and Samuel Doak, Presbyterian ministers educated at the College of New 

Jersey (now Princeton University), were ministering to the pioneers of what was the southwestern 

fron� er of the United States. They also desired to meet the educa� onal needs 

of these Scots-lrish se� lers. Doak and Balch were visionaries ul� mately seeking the same 

goals through the rival colleges they established. 

Tusculum College as it now exists descends from two schools. The fi rst, Greeneville 

College, was chartered in September 1794 by the General Assembly of the Territory of the 

United States South of the Ohio River, and established by Hezekiah Balch. Samuel Doak and 

his son Samuel Witherspoon Doak founded the second as Tusculum Academy in 1818. 

Tusculum Academy operated in a log cabin adjacent to the present site of Tusculum 

College. When the academy became Tusculum College in 1844, Andrew Johnson, who was 

to become 17th President of the United States, was one of its trustees. 

A merger in 1868 formed Greeneville and Tusculum College. In 1908, Greeneville and 

Tusculum College merged with Washington College, crea� ng Washington and Tusculum College. This union dissolved in 1912, and thus evolved modern-day Tusculum 

College. The College received formal accredita� on by the Southern Associa� on of Colleges and Schools 15 years later. 

The College takes its name from the ancient Roman town where the great statesman and educator Cicero had an academy at his villa. Cicero taught what are now 

called the liberal arts. They actually were cons� tuted by the prac� ces a ci� zen must develop to par� cipate eff ec� vely in leading his or her community - to play a vital 

role in civic aff airs. 

TUSCULUM ACADEMICS 

As a Civic Arts ins� tu� on, Tusculum College prepares students to be eff ec� ve ci� zens, recognizing that they will need prac� cal wisdom to par� cipate in communi� es 

and enrich life� me experiences. 

Tusculum’s academic calendar is diff erent from all but three other colleges in the country. The academic year is divided into two semesters and our students take 

four 3 1/2 week courses each semester, totaling eight courses for the year. Classes are taught one at a � me, with a four-day break in between. Three 3 1/2 week summer 

sessions are also off ered. This allows our students to complete course requirements for the baccalaureate degree in four calendar years. 

Our unique Civic Arts program is being used as a model for other colleges and universi� es that seek to promote community, responsibility, and civic development. 

The Carnegie Founda� on for the Advancement of Teaching has recognized Tusculum as one of about a dozen schools (including Duke University and the University of 

Notre Dame) with a strong commitment to those ideals. 

As part of our emphasis on service-learning, we ask students to assess the needs of the community and complete a project to address those needs. Beyond helping 

key popula� ons, Tusculum students gain valuable experience in solving problems, apprecia� ng diff erences, and working with others. 

Tusculum College is a learning community where students and faculty members spend concentrated blocks of � me together exploring important areas of knowledge, 

developing and refi ning thinking and communica� on skills, wrestling with the � me- 

less controversial issues that characterize the human condi� condi� on, and applying themselves 

to the prac� prac� cal solu� solu� on of problems. 

Whether in the tradi� tradi� onal on-campus Bachelor of Arts programs or in the evening 

Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts programs for working adult-students, Tusculum 

College’s dis� dis� nc� nc� ve academic calendar lets students concentrate on learning one subject 

at a � � me. It’s a tradi� tradi� on grounded in the belief that we best realize the poten� poten� al of each 

individual when faculty members and students work closely together with the ul� ul� mate 

aim of enriching the lives of our students and preparing them to contribute posi� posi� vely to 

their communi� communi� es. 

For many tradi� tradi� onal students, an ini� ini� al reason for choosing Tusculum is our focused 

calendar, calendar, which allows students to take one course at a � � me. 

For others, its our dis� dis� nc� nc� ve programs of study, from specialized areas such as Athle� Athle� c 

Training, Business Administra� Administra� on, and Museum Studies to strong arts and sciences areas 

such as Biology, English, and Psychology. 

Tusculum is well known throughout East Tennessee for the eff ec� ec� veness of its Teacher 

Educa� Educa� on programs. Students are well prepared for careers in early childhood and elementary 

educa� educa� on, in several several secondary educa� educa� on subject areas, in K-12 programs in 

Physical Educa� Educa� on and Visual Arts, and in Special Educa� Educa� on. But what o� o� en seals prospec- 

� � ve students’ decisions to join Tusculum’s community is the people. 

Tusculum a� a� racts topfl ight professors for the same reason that we a� a� ract students: small 

classes with close interac� interac� on between professors and students, the focused calendar 

which allows concentrated study, and a Civic Arts curriculum that emphasizes community. 

Our professors are mo� vated and mo� va� ng. Excited and exci� ng. Whatever the major, you’ll fi nd that Tusculum’s academics are innova� ve, and that our faculty 

is commi� ed to the success of our students. 

THE TUSCULUM CAMPUS 

Located in Greeneville, Tenn., Tusculum College lies in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains between Knoxville and the Tri-Ci� es (Bristol-Johnson City-Kingsport). 

Our wooded 190-acre campus has over 25 buildings, nine of which are listed on the Na� onal Register of Historic Places. The Albert Columbus Tate Library, one 

of our Na� onal Historic Sites, was built in 1910. The library is experiencing a major mul� -million dollar renova� on and expansion that will more than double the size 

of the current library facility, bringing our library space to 34,467 square feet. The Tate Library previously encompassed 12,000 square feet, and is incorporated into the 

expanded and renovated building. 

We also have two on-campus museums, one holding archives with materials da� ng to the College’s beginnings. The Andrew Johnson Presiden� al Museum and 

Library includes the Charles Coffi n Collec� on containing materials from the Collegeís original library, the Andrew Johnson Library containing books, papers, and memorabilia 

from the 17th President of the United States, and the College Archives containing documents related to the history of Tusculum since its founding. 

Tusculum’s loca� on is convenient to shopping and entertainment, and our students enjoy access to such recrea� onal opportuni� es as backpacking, hiking, whitewater 

ra� ing, fi shing and snow skiing. The city of Greeneville and Greene County have a combined popula� on of 65,000. Knoxville and the Tri-Ci� es are within a 70-mile 

radius of the campus.
