Meet Jacob!
Jacob Rambo, a senior here at Tusculum University, is a Marketing major in the College of Business. Originally from Jonesborough, Tennessee, Jacob came to Tusculum because of the academic program, but the beautiful campus, friendly staff, and competitive athletic program were also important. Jacob stays busy. In addition to his studies, he plays for the men’s volleyball team, has worked as a resident assistant for over two years, is a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (PSAAC), and is currently involved in a market research project for MECO Corporation. When asked about what he enjoys most about Tusculum Jacob said, “The professors at TU really care about the student’s academic experience. The smaller class size allowed me to have a more personal connection with my professors and classmates.”

Outside of school, Jacob enjoys traveling, hiking, cooking, playing video games, watching sports and hanging out with friends and family. Looking ahead Jacob plans on attending an MBA program next fall to further pursue a career in medical technology sales. We are grateful to have you, Jacob!
