The Ujima Collective proudly recognizes Tennessee State University’s recent investment in engineering education through this transformative gift from Cummins. As one of our five partner institutions, TSU’s continued expansion in industry-aligned research and student opportunity strengthens the entire Ujima network.

We also celebrate Dr. Lin Li, Interim Dean of Engineering and Principal Investigator for the Ujima Collective at TSU, whose leadership in advancing research infrastructure and engineering innovation reflects the very spirit of Ujima — collective responsibility and shared progress. This achievement underscores the power of strategic partnerships, industry collaboration, and research-driven growth in preparing students for high-demand, high-impact careers.
