What advice would you give to current or prospective CMU students?

FIRE UP CHIPS! has true meaning! As a future, current or prospective CMU student there are many Chips all over the world. Show up day one with an open mind, eager to immerse yourself in the campus culture and more importantly get involved. Being a double- CMU graduate, I cannot stress enough how many people you will meet after college who can connect you to so many opportunities. There isn`t a day where I don’t hear “ FIRE UP” in the State Capitol, those very relationships from CMU have been vital to me today.
