time.

help.

where you want to be after graduation & how to reach your goal.

day #1!! Get tips and suggestions from students proficient in the
course.

your ability to be successful. Find a campus resource to resolve the
issue. Schedule a maximum of only 20 hours a week at your job.

Career Services is not a resource to ignore. Start now to plan
what you want to do after graduation.

FRIENDS. You’ll have some fun and they’ll give you
support when the going gets tough.

If you make excellent grades, you feel great!

harder than you think. |
