Let’s meet Pedro. He’s originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He will talk about his experience with TU’s, Tiffin Innovation Project, a semester long program that inspires and mentor students in creating their very own business before they get to graduate.
– Thanks Alex. Hello everyone. So growing up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I always knew I wanted to come to the United States for college. And even though I wasn’t always certain in business administration, my journey with Tiffin University made clear that I made the right choice. I went from a fresh off the boat student to an entrepreneur in just under four years. From the first day of my freshman year to graduation day, there was always a new and exciting challenge here at Tiffin University. The business program is outstanding and the friendly environment here on campus really helps you focus on your academic goals. Your friends, roommates, and professors always have your back. In addition to all the student activities and amazing support with professors and staff, Tiffin University constantly strives for innovation from the brand new center for science and technology building to Tiffin Innovation Program, TIP, a program designed for student entrepreneurs with innovative ideas to learn how to professional develop them, find funding and help bring them to reality. TIP allows students to gain real world experience, learn from failure, take calculated risks, develop grit and collaborate on diverse teams. The Tiffin Innovation Program has helped me take my own company, Zeit Technologies to new heights. So whatever your path may look like forming your own company, being in business, athletics, forensic sciences or law enforcement, or even if you still have no clue, you may find that Tiffin University is that missing link you’ve been looking for to make the introduction between your ambitions and reality. That’s my story. Back to you, Alex.
