The Washington Tuskegee Alumni Club, Inc. proudly recognizes Gayle Rankine, Tuskegee University Class of 1986, Computer Science major, as an Unsung Hero whose dedication ensures that Homecoming is not just a celebration—but a moment of meaningful impact for students.
For several years, Gayle has coordinated with other alumni, the White Hall Homecoming Give Back, an initiative that encourages former White Hall residents to support the current female students living in the residence hall. What began as a focused act of care has grown into a powerful tradition of alumni giving and student support.
Turning Homecoming Into Service
Working directly with the White Hall dorm director, they identify the real needs of students—from personal hygiene products and school supplies to snacks and dorm-wide essentials such as microwaves. Gayle then spreads the word, mobilizing White Hall alumni and others to give intentionally and generously.
This year, the Homecoming Give Back expanded its reach to include Olivia Davidson Hall, extending care to even more students on campus.
From Coordination to Campus Impact
Gayle does more than request and collect donations—she’s involved all the way to the end. Gayle is on hand on campus to help distribute the donations to students with a smile.
This Homecoming Give Back bridges generations of Tuskegee women, connecting alumni experiences with present-day student needs in a way that is thoughtful, organized, and deeply compassionate.
Our Thanks
Gayle’s consistent leadership transforms Homecoming from a weekend of memories into a lasting expression of love and responsibility for Tuskegee students.
We proudly salute Gayle Rankine — our “Dorm Difference Maker.”
Thank you for your continued service and for helping ensure that Tuskegee students feel supported, seen, and cared for. We would also like to thank all of those alumni and friends that support this Homecoming Give Back initiative.
