Leather football helmets, lettermen sweaters, pep-squad uniforms, old issues of the Kendallabrum and long-forgotten event programs or report cards open a window on the past and give us a surprisingly rich perspective on the people who have gone before us or the people we once were ourselves. The Heritage Committee of the TU Alumni Association asks for your help in locating and passing along TU memorabilia to expand the Heritage Collection. These items defined your time at TU and also tell the university’s story. You may either donate or loan your items to the Heritage Collection, where they will be properly preserved and may be used in TU’s heritage displays.
For more information about donating items or joining the Heritage Committee, please contact the Office of Alumni Engagement at (918) 631-2555 or tualumni@utulsa.edu.
As an ongoing project, the TU Heritage Committee works tirelessly to collect, catalog, and preserve TU memorabilia. Many of these items are on display in the Jill Zink Tarbel Heritage Room in Collins Hall. In addition, the Virginia C. and Charles L. Scott Hall of Honor displays individual recognition of all honorees who have received the TU Distinguished Alumni Award. Click here for a glimpse of TU Heritage with Heritage Committee Member Chuck Scott, 1952 All-American Drum Major and a sample of his performance, featuring the Sound of the Golden Hurricane.
