TU students participate in a wide variety of activities, including 12 varsity and junior varsity athletic teams, music, theatre, ENACTUS, Rotaract and more. Thomas University’s origins date back to 1950 when the Primitive Baptist Church chartered the institution as Birdwood Junior College at the winter home of the Honorable W. Cameron Forbes, former Governor General of the Philippines, Ambassador to Japan and grandson of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Forbes Building, built in 1932, is one of the original structures on campus and is still in use today. The architecture of the building inspired the graphic elements of the TU logo and the design of Smith-Bonvillian Hall, which was built much later. In 1976, the Primitive Baptist Church relinquished control of the college and the name was changed to Thomas County Community College. In 1979, the college became nonsectarian and independent. The name was changed to Thomas College in 1986, and the first four-year degrees were offered in 1988.
