Advice for incoming students
Enter college with an open mind, join new organizations (both professional and social), meet new people, and be willing to step outside of your comfort zone. These next four or five years will be a new journey, learning how to live without your parents/supporters, navigating and balancing school, work, extracurricular activities and much more. But in this journey, you will grow; so have fun, learn and be the best you!
