Wynter Toland: An Internship Made It Real

 

Each student who comes to Tiffin makes different connections and walks away with exciting new insights. Here's a look at one student's experience.

Wynter Toland visited five college campuses before she chose to pursue her undergraduate degree at Tiffin. So what helped her decide? She wanted a campus that had one of the best undergraduate programs in forensic psychology (her major with a minor in corrections). She also wanted a place where she could play Division II tennis within a close, friendly atmosphere.

A native of Columbus, Ohio, Wynter says she has been impressed from day one with the caliber of faculty in the forensic psychology department and the connections she has made in the industry. "For me, it was my internship that was the most life changing. I did my internship at Farmers Insurance Group in Chicago, Illinois, and I was able to help with insurance fraud investigations. So it was a bit different than what most people who are pursuing my degree get exposed to. I realized that I liked all aspects of being out in the business world, and I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't had this internship."

Back on campus, Wynter is president of Gamma Phi Alpha sorority, a Head Resident on the residence life staff, and secretary for Epitome, a group dedicated to minority females. She plans to pursue her Master of Business Administration at Tiffin.
