A Tiger Stories first -- two students, Destiny Warner and Nick Jung, join us to have a conversation about the similar experiences that straight-out-of-high-school students and adult students have at Chattanooga State. Warner came to ChattState thinking that she had to know, on day one, what she was going to do for the rest of her life ... and then she saw that adults were coming to college mid-career to change their life trajectory. Nick shares how coming back to college as an adult helped him find a high-demand career after working in restaurants and being in a band in his 20s. Warner and Nick met over the summer and realized they had much more in common than they might have expected. What emerges in this conversation is how rich the opportunities on campus are for students to learn from one another.
