Tri-C Times Showcases College's Global Reach

Fall 2024 issue highlights international students enrolled at Tri-C

The newest issue of Tri-C Times shows how Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) is a local college that remains focused on serving Northeast Ohio but whose impact isn't limited to this region.

This semester, 250 students from 49 foreign countries are enrolled at Tri-C, and this issue captures some of their stories. Each one came to the U.S. — and to Tri-C — to pursue a dream and found the support to navigate their new environment. 

• Read about the 2024 Presidential Scholarship Luncheon, held in September, which featured entrepreneur and TV personality Daymond John, the founder, president and CEO of apparel company FUBU and widely known for his role as an investor on ABC's Shark Tank.
• Meet Tri-C alumnus Martell Jackson, who used his time at Tri-C to explore different careers before ultimately entering the medical research field.
• Learn about Matthew Crowley, an assistant professor of information technology who actively encourages his students to take advantage of Tri-C's many educational opportunities to find their passion.
• Read how our renovated food pantries help address food insecurity within our student population, addressing a major barrier to completion.
• Meet Anthony Franklin, the new director of Athletics, Wellness and Recreation at the College, and discover his vision for the physical and mental wellness of Tri-C students, staff, faculty and the broader community.

Tri-C Times is an award-winning publication produced by the College's Integrated Communications department. View the latest issue and past editions.
