NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - An ECPI University graduate returned to her alma mater Wednesday to present a check for $10,000, as a way to say thank you from a gesture made a decade ago.
Michelle Tinner walked the halls of ECPI in 2012. She was studying to become a registered nurse, working, and taking care of her mother who has dementia. At one point, she thought her education would have to be put on hold.
