Alumni Scene

Note from the Director of Alumni Relations DEAR ALUMNI & FRIENDS,

In-person alumni events commence – on the road and on campus.

It has been amazing to get back out on the road to visit our alumni. We hosted several alumni events this fall including Atlanta (September), Washington, DC (October), Scottsdale (November), Cleveland and Tiffin (December). If you live in these areas and missed us this year, keep an eye out for us next year as we plan to return to these locations on a yearly basis.

We are also excited to have a full line up for spring and have begun planning for summer. See the Upcoming Events and Save the Date section on the following page. Please be sure to check the website and your email for an up-to-date listing of alumni events near you at tiffin.edu/alumni/events.

On behalf of Tiffin University and the TU Alumni Association, thank you for all that you do for Tiffin University and our students.
