Pyhtila will spend the summer at Shanghai University. She was nominated for the scholarship by TC3 associate professor Nancy Siemon, who serves as the study abroad advisor for students entering CCIS programs. Students at CCIS member institutions are eligible for a limited number of scholarships each term. TC3 became a member of CCIS in 2000. In life there are doers and drifters.
Doers make all the difference in the world.
James Brown, executive director of the Tompkins County United Way, delivered that message to the Class of 2001 during commencement ceremonies at TC3. The college celebrated its 32nd commencement on Thursday, May 24. Brown, who has spent the last 20 years working to make the community better, told the graduates they need to make an effort. As graduates of this institution, you have the responsibility to continue being doers. The fact that you are here tonight represents that you are doers.
