Our new journey together will be filled with inspiration and development. We are going to learn so much together!
Be a nerd. In high school, being smart wasn’t necessarily cool. In college, it is the opposite. Learning in college is student-directed and teacher-supported. You are not guaranteed to pass your classes, nor do we just hand degrees out to students who “just show up.” College is meant for students who want to be educated, and dedicated students are rewarded for their academic accomplishments. Pursue your education with passion and fervor, take pride in learning, in what you know, and seek challenge and knowledge. We believe in you!
