Tiffany Statement

Southwestern has been nationally recognized for its efforts in First Year Experience (FYE) programming, and on-campus living is a large part of the transition to college. Tiffany lives in and manages the freshman living area. Southwestern Oaks. She graduated from GSW with a bachelor's degree and is currently working on her Masters of Business Administration (MBA). Tiffany thinks that GSW is a great place for personal development.  The FYE program gives students the opportunity to become prepared not only for the next four years, but for the rest of their lives. My residents are constantly meeting new people, hanging out, and getting assistance about campus resources from their Resident Assistants.

Not only are the brand new halls a great place to live, but GSW is also a great place for a university experience. Tiffany believes the small campus allows for more interaction between faculty, staff, and students. I can tell you from personal experience, first as a student and now as a staff member, the employees of Southwestern care very deeply for their students.
