- To me, student success means: Finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment in your career while developing a skillset to perform in your field. Ultimately, success is a personal experience of wellbeing and contentment with where we are in life, understanding that it is subjective and not permanent in time.
- In my first year, I wish I knew more about: Building meaningful connections with classmates and professors. It’s as important as your grades. Enjoy the experience of learning!
