TUNAA, established to promote the adoption and application of higher academic and social standards for student athletes at Tuskegee University, was organized in the fall of 1985 to assist the University with its athletic program. Fully understanding that some sports are more expensive to operate than others, the committee is charged with the responsibility of considering proposals from the Athletic Department to ensure that all sports receive due consideration and support.

Membership in TUNAA is available on an individual basis to alumni and friends interested in supporting the athletic program at Tuskegee University.
