Donations Received Total Number of Donors Tiffin University has announced the opening of its Drone Academy in response to the growing and expanding drone industry. The Academy has become a place of learning, research and achievement for the advancement of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones. Featuring academic classes, training seminars, community outreach programs, certification opportunities and recreational activities like Community Fly Days, the Drone Academy provides theoretical and applied learning for the technological and operational aspects of the industry. The Academy has been designated to participate in the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Collegiate Training Initiative (UAS-CTI) by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and allows the Academy and University to collaborate with the FAA, in order to provide aid to students pursuing a career in drone aviation. The designation also provides the opportunity to partner with industry professionals, local government officials, members of law enforcement and other organizations to provide enrolled students with the industry-skills needed to ensure success. The University also has plans to establish a minor in UAS that will be available to all undergraduate seated students, regardless of their major. The minor will introduce UAS technology to students that can be utilized in many different professions. There will also be a new concentration in UAS for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree that will offer students the ability to explore various UAS platforms and be able to master the concepts of programming for UAS Technologies. Both the minor and concentration will introduce students to hands on drone flights in class as well as the knowledge to pass their Part 107 Remote Pilot License by the FAA. Students also will gain knowledge in python programming as well as advanced UAS flight platforms. Finally, students are taught the basics of videography and photography using drones. Through the Drone Academy students can join the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) through the Tiffin University AMA University Model Aviation Student (UMASC) Chapter (in many cases at no charge to the student). This opportunity provides extensive resources, scholarships, grants and insurance for the students in Drone Academy.

First Generation Dragons
Donations Received: $725 
Total Number of Donors: 3 
Donations Received: Total Number of Donors: Definition of a first-generation college student: “While the definition can be complicated, being a first-gen student means that your parents did not complete a four-year college or university degree. Even if your parents took a few college classes or even completed a two-year degree, you are still considered first-gen. You are also considered first-gen if your older siblings went to college but your parents did not” (NASPA 2022). First-Generation Dragons seeks to support students who are the first in their families to go to college through building connections, establishing relationships, and instilling confidence. Research has shown that first-generation college students are more likely to face financial barriers and hardships. This scholarship aims to assist a high-achieving, first-generation college student who has inevitable financial need. Donating to this scholarship shows your commitment to retaining at-risk students who are breaking barriers and paving new paths in their families.

A passionate educator and a compassionate mentor, she leaves behind an enduring legacy of intellectual curiosity and heartfelt care. Students adored her not only for her engaging teaching style but also for the genuine interest she took in their lives and aspirations. Her office door was always open, welcoming students with a warm smile, ready to guide them academically and personally. Professor Miller's commitment to Tiffin University was part of a long-standing family tradition. Her father, Jerry Taylor, a proud TU graduate of the Class of 1972, instilled in her a deep appreciation for the institution’s values. This legacy extended through her marriage to Michael Miller, whose parents also furthered their education at Tiffin University. Together, the family exemplified a multi-generational bond with the university, embodying the spirit of loyalty, learning and service that defines the institution. Throughout her 23 years of service, Professor Miller cultivated a classroom environment where every student felt valued and empowered to succeed. Her passion for education extended beyond the syllabus; she inspired her students to see their potential and nurtured their talents with unwavering dedication. The family of Teresa R. Miller will honor her memory of the countless lives she touched, the knowledge she imparted and the vibrant legacy of dedication she leaves behind with an annual scholarship.
