Testimonial CCU Building
Testimonials
“The CCU training at Tiffin University pushed me out of my comfort zone and
gave me the opportunity to gain more knowledge of culture and its impact on
personal and professional relationships. As a result of the training, I
have learned to continually be self-aware and grow to understand and
appreciate each unique culture.”

"It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for President
Lillian Schumacher of Tiffin University regarding her efforts to transform
TU into a learning organization focused on creating culturally conscious
global students. More than a year ago, she and her advisory council began a
program aimed at transforming TU into a culturally aware and sensitive
university where cultural intelligence is to be taught at all levels. As
such, one of her first steps was to enroll herself and her senior staff in
the training certification course, Building Cultural Competencies in
Organizations. I have worked with many organizations over the year, yet
this is the first one where the president, as well as the senior staff,
participated fully. Dr. Schumacher offers a unique perspective regarding
cultural intelligence. A first-generation US citizen, Dr. Schumacher is
keenly aware of the challenges associated with introducing such an endeavor
to a small university. Yet, she welcomes the challenge with open arms.
I have known Dr. Schumacher since 2002 when she first enrolled at my
university. As she took courses from me, I realized quickly that there was
something special about her. She not only completed her master's but earned
her Doctorate as well. I continue to be impressed with her enthusiasm and
intellect. She maintains the highest of ethical standards and works hard to
bring rigor and innovation to her work.
It is this astuteness that guides Dr. Schumacher as she works to transform
her university into a cutting-edge institution focused on creating global
leaders for the future.There is no question that we should applaud her efforts. I know I
certainly do.”
