As a result of a whopping 587,305 votes amassed through online and social media votes, 欧美高清 is among the $50,000 winners of this year鈥檚 The Home Depot 鈥淩etool Your School鈥� competition.
The Tuskegee National Alumni Association led the eight-week social media-driven campaign 鈥� launched on Feb. 17 and extending through April 5 鈥� that relied on tweets and Instagram posts using the #Tuskegee_RYS20 hashtag, and voting on the Retool Your School website.
鈥淭uskegee doesn鈥檛 take competitions lightly, and this year鈥檚 Retool Your School results are a testament to that,鈥� said Burt Rowe, national president of the Tuskegee National Alumni Association. 鈥淚t is amazing to see how students, alumni, employees and other friends of the university united in such a powerful way for the betterment of our campus and our students鈥� experiences.鈥�
The TNAA-led partnership included the university鈥檚 Student Government Association, Pre-Alumni Council, Office of Facilities and Capital Projects, and Office of Communications, Public Relations and Marketing.
Based on input from SGA and Pre-Alumni Council representatives, the university will use the $50,000 prize money to create additional recreational and leisure seating throughout campus for students to enjoy. Outdoor seating areas around high-traffic walking areas and buildings, and additional patio-style tables at Margaret Murray Washington Hall, will be equipped with Wi-Fi, giving students spaces to study, read and socialize. The installation of these seating areas will occur this summer.
While competing among the other historically black colleges and universities in the competition鈥檚 Cluster 2 鈥� schools whose enrollments range from 1,201 to 3,999 students 鈥� Tuskegee鈥檚 total votes represented more than 10% of the 5.7 million votes cast in the competition, ranking the university as the top vote-getter among the 54 institutions eligible to compete in year鈥檚 competition.
Established in 2010, The Home Depot鈥檚 鈥淩etool Your School鈥� program strives to give back to the nation鈥檚 HBCUs that have generously provided their communities with a strong foundation, a renewed purpose and a distinctive character. For more information about the program, visit .
