"I have great memories of Tri–State. The friends I made are still my closest friends today. I liked the fact the university is a small school where the professors knew you and cared about you, not only as a student but as a person. The degree I obtained has helped me tremendously in my career. Having a degree in criminal justice gave me an edge over other applicants when I applied for the police department ," Christine said.

"Hello! This was taken in Takefu, Fukui prefecture, Japan."

"I teach at a main school four days a week, but this was at my visiting school. They are my two– and three–year students (eighth/ninth–graders)."

Best wishes from Japan – Leslie Erlenbaugh, BA′07
