Tippy Connect Events
Connect with young professionals at TC events
Tippy Connect's mission is to engage young professionals in the community through professional development, community involvement and networking opportunities. Therefore, Tippy Connect events focus on these three guiding principles. Tippy Connect also hosts three annual events to celebrate and promote the contributions of young professionals in the Greater Lafayette community.
