Life at TU / Student Engagement / Engaged Fridays

Engaged Fridays

Ignite the Fire!

Engaged Fridays is a distinctive experience for our students that enhances their collegiate experiences – and sets Tiffin University apart from other institutions. 

Not only does TU provide curriculum, we go a step further in providing the foundational skills to navigate life – personally, academically and professionally. In that spirit, TU hosts Engaged Fridays, a variety of events throughout the academic year to keep our students engaged and help them explore their interests. The events are designed to foster creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and analysis, and appreciation for a global mindset that employers seek. 

Examples of Engaged Friday activities include student-faculty research experiences, service learning, professional clubs or organizations, athletics and career experiential learning – as well as fun events like dodgeball or pickleball tournaments, painting events and tours of nearby destinations.

This holistic educational experience is unique to Tiffin University graduates and gives them an edge in their future careers.
