My interactions with faculty was always friendly. They made my days at Tiffin so much more enjoyable!
How are you juggling work, life, and going back to school? Any tips?

It’s never too late! Prioritizing and pursuing your education further is something that will only lead you to new experiences and new opportunities!
TU’s motto is: Without risk there is no gain. Can you tell us about a time when you took a risk and what you gained from it?
When I was looking for internships, I decided to work with a program that I knew would be challenging. I was nervous to experience it and had reservations that maybe I wasn’t ready, but I learned so many things and realized that my courses Tiffin had prepared me more than I could’ve imagined. I am so glad I challenged myself because I became a better student and individual because of it.
