Seth Boyer is from the 2024 graduating class. He now attends SUNY Polytechnic Institute with the hope of one day becoming a software developer/engineer. Seth is also a summer hire at the Regional Information Center. His advice to current high school students is:
“The best way to learn new concepts is to actively engage with the relevant material both inside and outside of class. In my experience, the best form of this engagement was teaching it to one of my peers who was either not familiar with the topic or was having a difficult time understanding it. Not only do I think that this helped me solidify my confidence in each of my courses, but I also believe that explaining the material helped to strengthen others’ understanding as well."

Sometimes they change in a way that we don't want them to. Be ready for that. Embrace it. Be changed, and make sure that it’s for the better."
