Student Success

Tiffany Campbell ’13, ’15 M.Ed. discovered a world of ideas at UNCW, and now she is helping a new generation of Seahawks do the same through her work with the Upperman African American Cultural Center.  

“I couldn’t imagine being in a job that doesn’t affect people in a realistic way,” she said. “For me, it’s a blessing to be in a field where my job is to care about people, their story and their daily struggles, not just their productivity or their quantifiable value.”

Campbell is the pre-professional and mentorship program coordinator at the Upperman Center, joining the center in December 2017. Her role gives her a unique opportunity to engage with students in a space that is comfortable for them.
