Michael Ruby was a scuba diving instructor on Lake Erie, and found it interesting exploring some of the 1600 shipwrecks underwater. Then he decided to go back to Tri-C to get some education.
“I went through an accelerated mid-life crisis. I was 37 years old and I thought, why not now? It’s never too late to learn.”
Michael is also a veteran and took advantage of the VREP (Veterans Re-Entry Education Program) to take college credit on the government’s dime. Now he’s planning on taking a 2-year Associates degree in Information Technology. “There’s a huge demand right now.”
He’s enjoying a Tri-C Alumni & Friends event at a tailgate party before a recent Cleveland Browns game. “I look forward to future events.”
