Folk
Just plain folk. Folk like Noelle Celeste, publisher of the new Edible Cleveland, featured in one of our four video interviews this week. Or folks like Grainne Bird from Kildare, Ireland, in town for six months collecting human hair. Watch the video and you'll understand. Or folk like William Pope.L, leading our community in pulling an 8-ton truck from one side of town to the other. Folk like your dog, who would love to visit Woofstock at Holden Arboretum this Sunday. Or folk like Mark Maslar, who won $20 this week by using the Cool Cleveland mobile app. Or the other kind of folk: the Kent Folk Festival at The Kent Stage. Just folk. --Thomas Mulready

Holly Gaidelis had a good reason to consider Tri-C when she was looking to further her education. Her father recommended Tri-C, as he was also an alum. He had attended back in the 1980's.
"They show you your road map. They show you exactly what credits you need. They make sure you have all your credits so you can finish on time."
"I thought, I love the school so much, why not join the Alumni Association? My dad had joined years before. Go Tribe!"
