Tutors

Recently, the Natural Science Center attempted to contact former tutors to see where life's often circuitous pathways had taken them. Of particular interest were the careers which past tutors had chosen.

Most of the tutors with whom contact was attempted had been gone from Troy University for many years. Therefore, with address changes and the many other alterations which come with time, attempts to contact most of the past Center tutors were unsuccessful. However, attempts to reach a number of the past tutors were fruitful and some the tutors who were contacted kindly responded.

The responses follow:
