Having served Heartland as Assistant Director for TRIO Student
Support Services for the past five years, Randle will pivot into the new
position with ample experience in supporting a diverse body of students in their
career pathways and connecting them to meaningful experiences.
“Over the past five years, I have had the absolute honor of
working with a resilient group of learners in TRIO/Project RISE,” shared Tiara
Randle. “The students often remind me that it is never too late to change
direction and try something new, especially if it brings you closer to your
passions. The idea of expanding my reach to a broader set of students as the
Director of Career Connections is an exciting opportunity because I’ll be able
to explore the fullness of building a specialized area where, my passion – the
future of students – is at the forefront.”
