“We are excited to present the schedule of upcoming sessions for this year,” said Vickie Wilkins, Director of Alumni Relations at Tiffin University. “This carefully selected list reflects the valuable input from our members through session surveys and thoughtful choices of the LIFE@TU curriculum committee. Each session has been chosen to address topics relevant to our LIFE@TU community. We can’t wait to see you on campus this fall!”
“We are proud to support programs like LIFE@TU, which are vital for fostering a vibrant community,” said Bryce Riggs, Executive Director for Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce and Destination Seneca County. “By providing thought-provoking and socially enriching experiences for lifelong learners, particularly those aged 50 and older, LIFE@TU enriches the fabric of our community. This program not only promotes continuous learning but also enhances the quality of life in our area, making it a more attractive place to live, work, learn, play and visit. Supporting initiatives like LIFE@TU helps us build stronger connections and create a more resilient, informed and engaged community.”
“I am proud to again be the lead sponsor for the upcoming year of exciting presentations for LIFE@TU,” said Andrew Kalnow, President and CEO of National Machinery. “The program is an important resource for education and connectivity for the Tiffin/Seneca County 50+ community and I am heartened to see it continue to grow as it enters its second season. I am pleased to give one of the presentations for the fall season, The History of National Machinery Over its 150 Years: Success and Challenges on the World Stage, as we celebrate our anniversary this September. I also extend a personal invitation to the public to join us for a community Open House at National Machinery Sunday, September 22 from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.”
