"When I visited Butler University, I was welcomed by the Lacy School of Business staff and had the opportunity to learn more about the school," said Tisch. "My coach also gave me a tour of campus, which helped me envision myself at Butler. I immediately felt that it was a great fit for me and my future goals. The experience showed me that Butler is a place where I can grow academically while continuing to pursue my golf career."
