Faculty mentors
“The faculty, especially in my major’s department, have had a hugely positive impact on me. They are always there for their students and have the best in mind for us. Having good relationships with my professors made it easier for me to stay engaged in my classes and to ask them for help with the classwork.””
Campus involvement
“I am a student ambassador and secretary of the Plant Club. Additionally, I am involved in the theatre, dance, and music programs.”
Best study tip
“I think all students should add a bit of studying every day as opposed to cramming everything in at the same time during the week. Doing a bit every day helps build healthier study habits and can aid in less stress!”
Best tip for making friends
“Join clubs/organizations! Try to put yourself out there, and it will help you find people that you have things in common with.”
