Internship Opportunities

Transcript

Let me introduce you to Jacob, a Cyber Security and Digital Forensics major from Sunbury, Ohio, who recently interned with a Fortune 500 company. Take it away.

– Thank you for that awesome introduction, Alex. So ever since I was a wee little lad, I’ve always had a strong desire to help people and have an impact on the community. Little did I know that that desire would bring me here to Tiffin University? Here at Tiffin I discovered that my way to make an impact would be through cyber security and digital forensics. I quickly learned that our professors have tons of real life experience and teach it the way that it is in the field. I’ve had professors that worked in the Pentagon as a spy, in police departments and in their own cyber security businesses. My hands on experience in the classroom allowed me to be successful in my internship, which Tiffin requires you to have to graduate. Tiffin helped me get an internship with a critical infrastructure team for a Fortune 500 company. During this internship, I got to perform a wide variety of tasks. I troubleshot network problems, assigned IP addresses to new sites and separated IT and OT networks on different ships at sea. This internship provided the experience that I needed to have to have a competitive edge over my peers from other universities. Outside of my education, my favorite part about Tiffin is the community. Everyone from housekeeping to faculty and staff are so welcoming and go above and beyond to help me succeed. I spend a lot of time in the office of student affairs. It’s so refreshing to talk to people who care about me as a person and not just a number. I enjoyed Tiffin University too much to leave right after graduation. So next year I’ll be continuing my education to receive a master’s degree in Homeland Security. I’ll also be working as a student affairs graduate assistant in continuing my athletic career on Tiffin University’s cross country team. Back to you, Alex.

– Thank you, Jacob. We look forward to hearing about your success in the near future. Take care. With over 30% of students identifying as a first generation student, Tiffin University has implemented tools and activities to fully support this population. The creation of the First Gen Dragon student organization, not only celebrates first generation students, but also provides resources like panels, discussions, social events, and even scholarships to ensure their success.
