—Michael Jacob, Trine University Math Major, 2003

“After graduating from Tri-State (now Trine University), I attended Bowling Green State University where I received a Master of Science degree in computer science specializing in operations research. After receiving my master’s degree, I worked at Delta Air Lines in Atlanta, GA as an operations research specialist for a year and a half. I currently live in Newnan, GA with my wife Cara and work at The Home Depot as a logistics engineer.
During my time at Tri-State, I developed the technical basis and work ethic that has enabled me to further my education and be successful in my career.”

—Carrie Dunn, Trine University Math Education Major, 2005

“While at Tri-State University, I had many wonderful experiences that I have carried with me into my career as a high school mathematics teacher. My professors were very knowledgeable and cared about my education. The door was always open for extra help and occasional chats. One of the benefits of the small school setting and the small class size of Trine University was that the professors were able to get to know their students as individuals. My professors were great role models for me as a future teacher in the field of mathematics. In the classroom today, I implement some of their teaching styles with my students. Because of the education I received from this department, I was named the “Outstanding Senior in Mathematics” for the class of 2005.
I currently am a second year teacher at Lakeland High School in LaGrange, Indiana. So far, my career has been very successful, and I attribute this to my professors at Trine and the knowledge with which they imparted me.”
