eCore's Tiffany Haymore - My Family's FAVORITE Healthy Meal!

Hi I'm Tiffany Haymore - I teach Spanish for the USG eCore Program. I grew up near Detroit, Michigan where a department store called Hudson’s was popular. They had a restaurant on the 2nd floor and my grandmother went to Hudson’s every Saturday for lunch. My mom and I occasionally accompanied her. My mom somehow obtained the super- secret recipe for their signature salad and started making it at home. It was one of our family’s favorites growing up! In 1983, we moved to Florida and since then I’ve married and had a family of my own. My grandmother passed away about 10 years ago and Hudson’s has gone out of business.

Yummy yummy to my tummy!!!

I know what you are thinking... "Salad doesn’t sound all that exciting". Right? But I can assure you, this is a delicious salad! In fact, it is now one of my own family’s absolute favorite meals! Over the years, I have added a few short-cuts from the recipe that my mom handed down (hence the salad cubes and pre-packaged chicken). It is now so easy that I actually had my children make it for this picture (it also doubled as dinner tonight!).

USG eCampus Helps HR Staffer Find Second Chance at College After Pandemic

Jasmin Khan recalls the unease she felt when working at a hospital as a Human Resources Assistant during COVID-19. Like so many, Khan found unexpected challenges when the pandemic brought physical and emotional hardships to most Americans. Acknowledging the “chaos in her life” caused by the pandemic, she left the job she loved to take a remote role. While remote work felt safer, she soon realized that her lack of a four-year degree limited her career opportunities. When considering pursuing a promotion, she became concerned that she had the skill set but was lacking the required level of education. No matter how impressive her experience, career progression was difficult without a bachelor’s degree. And as a busy mother of two young children, she found flexible and affordable options for returning to school very limited. The Search for Flexibility and Quality Then she discovered Georgia Southwestern University’s online programs through USG eCampus. “It felt like a breath of ...
