Q: What is a Tiger Team?
A: Your Tiger Team is comprised of your classmates from your First Year Seminar class and is led by 2-3 upper-class Tiger Team Leaders. This group becomes a great “Home-base” for you as you will have class weekly with this group and many may have similar academic interests. When our graduating seniors look back on their experience, they often note that they made connections through their Tiger Team group.
