Manager, Finance
The Travelers Companies
UConn ’21 MBA

As a student at Tunxis, Macaro enrolled in the UConn Guaranteed Admission Program to reach his goal of ultimately attaining his bachelor’s degree debt-free from UConn’s School of Business.

“Tunxis provided me with a platform to take on leadership opportunities, expand my network, and grow intellectually. The classes provided me with insights to real-world experiences,” said Macaro. “I took courses with professors who also taught at Central Connecticut State University, UConn, and Yale, and when it came time for me to transfer to UConn, I found that the academic expectations were the same.”

As part of his college activities outside the classroom, he spent time connecting with business leaders and touring Fortune 500 companies. The professional advice Macaro received in his early years at Tunxis helped build his business foundation and launch his career.
