STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Words of wisdom from current college students during this crisis.

“

To my fellow undergraduate students, I understand how difficult moving home and converting to online classes can be. One thing I’ve found helpful in holding myself accountable is keeping a planner for assignments and deadlines, along with ensuring I go for a walk each evening to “end” my work day! To my fellow seniors, Class of 2020, keep your heads up! Although we may not have the graduation ceremony we hoped for, we still should be proud of all of our accomplishments throughout the years.
