July 1, 2021

Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends will soon have the ability to purchase their favorite Degan gear online!
 
The online, athletic store is set to launch Sunday, July 4th, and offer various items to choose from, including customizable merchandise for team sports and wall decals.
 
According to Kevin Herod, athletic director for Talladega College, he has been working on this initiative for nearly five years, and with the support of Dr. Billy C. Hawkins, president of Talladega College, his concept has finally, become a reality. “We are excited to launch our first online store,” said Herod. “Our students and alumni have been anticipating this enterprise for quite some time.”
 
Hawkins said that the College’s online store is just the beginning of the institution’s ‘big comeback.’ “The pandemic placed us in a unique situation,” he said. “Colleges and Universities around the world have had to adjust, adapt and move forward.”
 
“Talladega College is definitely moving in the right direction, and we have even greater things in the making for this upcoming school year,” added Hawkins.
 
The store will launch on the College’s website, https://www.talladega.edu/, and will feature a grand opening sale.
