Tyler McCullough
Sophomore, Finance and General Business major
Tyler McCullough put the Public Affairs mission in action this summer as he spent 12 days in Uganda through the “Man Up and Go” project. The “Man Up and Go” movement has served nearly 2,000 orphans in Ethiopia and Uganda, providing needed supplies, equipment and love to young orphans often cast away by their own society. Tyler was able to provide much needed attention and affection to the children he met and states, “it is not uncommon to see a toddler holding an infant to make sure they get fed and cared for – they are literally raising each other, “babies holding babies.” Tyler also had the opportunity to speak and minister to the next generation of young men about the responsibilities of being men and the importance of fatherhood. He notes, “I was totally out of my comfort zone, but grew as a speaker and a leader and it became one of my favorite parts of the trip.”
We are proud to recognize Tyler McCullough as the September’s Public Affairs Student Spotlight for his compassion and growth in ethical leadership and cultural competence.
