My Professional Origin Story with Tammi Tiger, founding Director of Tribal Education Nov. 9

Join UNLV’s Graduate College on Monday, Nov. 9, 4 p.m.-6 p.m. to hear the inspiring professional journey of Tammi Tiger, founding director of Tribal Education within the William F. Harrah College of Hospitality.

The My Professional Origin Story series highlights the professional journeys of UNLV faculty and administrators. Origin stories matter. Understanding how people came to be where they are can give us insight into where we might be headed or how our own journeys may unfold.

The event, which is open to the entire UNLV community, will take place in the Sands Auditorium, Hospitality Hall (210), and will be livestreamed on YouTube.
