YOU WILL BELONG AND YOU WILL SUCCEED College is a time to discover who you are and explore the path that you would most like to travel in life. It is a time to take risks and reap the rewards. You will venture into unknown territory and be greeted by classmates who you will soon discover are not much different from you. You will understand and embrace not only what makes you unique, but also what ties you to your peers and teachers. You will develop some friendships that will last a semester and others that are sure to last a lifetime. You will learn that it is OK to change your mind. You will choose a major and may change it once or twice, but you will become a well-rounded and well-informed student and member of society. You will develop relationships with professors who will become mentors throughout your time in college – and well beyond graduation. You will take advantage of internships and co-op experiences where you will hone the skills you learn in the classroom and learn to apply them in the real world. You will cultivate connections that will help you secure a job once you graduate or assist you with graduate school applications.
