Why Wittenberg?

I have been exposed to Wittenberg University and Tiger Volleyball my entire life. I attended my first Wittenberg sporting event before I was 2 weeks old. I knew it was a good school with a tremendously successful volleyball program that I was drawn to. It will definitely feel like home to me.
