Tyler Diedrick's September Introduction

Hi, my name is Tyler Diedrick and I will be the mentor for the Introduction to Business LC course that has discussions on Fridays from 9-9:50 am. This will actually be my first year as a mentor with the Student Success Center, however, I do have an abundance of mentoring/tutoring experience with the Big Brothers Big Sisters and America Reads Programs. In those programs I worked primarily with elementary students, so I am excited to now be a mentor for my peers as well!

I'm originally from Chilton, WI, which is a small town on the eastern side of Lake Winnebago about an hour and a half north of Milwaukee. The 2013-14 school year will be my junior year and 3rd year here at UWM as well. I am in the School of Business here with an Information Technology Management Major (ITM). My major is definitely one that is under-represented in the business school among freshman. So, if you are a business student, but aren't sure about an exact major, I will gladly provide any information about ITM you would like. Another program I am involved with is the Business Scholars program, which is for high-achieving business students. Do well in classes your freshman year and the scholars program may just be a great opportunity for you starting your sophomore year!

To attempt at putting a face to a name, if any of you attended the pep rally during your Fall Welcome Day, I was Pauly D in the Jersey Shore skit. Here is a picture of our crew (I am the one on the far right).
