Tim Sloan enrolled at Carolina after a career in the Marine Corps and multiple years overseas, thinking he’d earn a degree and either return to the military as an officer or rejoin the government in some other capacity.
The Carolina experience, however, was different than what he expected and it fostered a sense of curiosity that led to new experiences and simply “seeing what happens.”
His philosophy led him to compete in his first boxing match for Carolina Boxing, running marathons with the University’s Marathon Team, traveling to Greece to compete in the Spartan Race Trifecta World Championships, pursuing new academic interests and entering into an entirely different career path than he had expected.
