Troy University will host the Fifth Annual Gifted Education Conference for parents and teachers of high-ability K-2 students at the Dothan Campus on Saturday, April 6, from 9:30 – 3 p.m. in the Michelin Room in the Library/Technology Building.
 
This year’s theme is developing early interest in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
 
The free event is sponsored by the College of Education and is aimed at helping parents and teachers better meet the needs of high-ability students in kindergarten through second grade.
 
“Typically, students are not identified and served in gifted programs until third grade. Therefore, we want to provide parents and classroom teachers with techniques that can enrich the curriculum for K-2 students prior to enrollment in a gifted program,” said Dr.

TUSKEGEE, AL -

Tuskegee University's Department of Athletics Tuesday released its 2013 football schedule, and the list does not include its biggest rival, the Alabama State University Hornets, in the annual Turkey Day Classic matchup.

Tuskegee said it was inspired to make the change by the run of Winston Salem State in the 2012 season. The Golden Tigers believe the move will allow them more freedom to play further into the postseason by taking part in the NCAA Division II playoffs, if they become eligible.
