Dear Alumni and Friends of <strong>Tiffin</strong> <strong>University</strong>,<br />
We enjoyed commencement <strong>2012</strong> in the Heminger Center (dedicated<br />
in May) in honor of Gary and Jane Heminger and their families<br />
(see story on page 15). This year’s commencement included<br />
a marriage proposal, which added to the celebration of a new<br />
beginning.<br />
Calling All Greeks!<br />
In this issue, I have invited you to share a memory or photo (or<br />
both) about Greek Life at TU. I have included a few scanned photos<br />
from the Tystenac and the Periodic Summary (photo quality is a<br />
little sketchy) as it is my intent to create an exchange from past to<br />
present in this issue as well as future issues. It all began with a call<br />
from a former Sig and DSK member (Class of 1961) who took the<br />
time to share some memories and send me a photo of the official<br />
DSK key he still proudly owns.<br />
In Closing<br />
As we prepare for a new year, we have made new and exciting<br />
friendships, said goodbye to employees who have been with us a<br />
long time and hello to new faces arriving in their place. Change is a<br />
constant theme on a college campus—especially at TU. You will see<br />
for yourself in the pages ahead.<br />
I look forward to hearing from you.<br />
