Tyler, can’t wait to tell you about student life and all the opportunities to get involved. I’m throwing the ball to you Tyler.

– I appreciate the intro Alex. At the University of Southern Indiana, I’m a long way from home and that’s something I’ve always wanted to experience. Originally, I thought it’d be near impossible balancing my academic, athletic and social life. But once I set foot on campus, I found the resources and clubs that would help us be successful both in and outside the classroom. I’m part of the men’s basketball team and the president of the black student union on campus. I can tell you firsthand that the love from the students and fans all around the community is genuine and welcoming. From academics to service clubs to even Greek life, there’s something for all students on the campus. I’m even a part of the Authentically Me Natural Hair Club. You don’t have to be a collegiate athlete to be active at USI. At the Recreation, Fitness and Wellness Center There are countless ways to get active in the 100,000 square foot facility. You don’t wanna be inside, no problem. Check out a bike or hit one of the trails. There’s also intramural leagues to choose from to meet other people in break a sweat. They even offer a monthly Eagle perks program where students receive free or discounted tickets to activities all around the community. Last month was laser tag and trust me, we had a blast. Finally, my academics is way more than being in the classroom and studying for an exam. In the Romain College of Business we are connected to a network of business professionals within immunity. We are introduced to countless guest speakers across the country and even the world who are willing to share their stories and the steps that they have taken to reach their success. I’ve soaked up so much knowledge and built family caliber relationships while being at USI. Maybe you should try it too. That’s all I’ve got. Thanks Alex.

– Thank you Tyler for that glimpse of what it’s like to be a college athlete, but also proving it’s important to get involved and make a difference through the countless organizations on campus. I have a feeling your alma mater will be asking you to share your alumni success story in years to come. Carry on and cheers Tyler.
