“For me, coming to campus for the first time was a whole new experience - being in a whole new environment, but also introducing myself into a new world. I was able to express that and introduce myself to new people, and understand myself on a better level.”
— Jose A., First-Year Student
“Orientation provided a higher chance of talking to freshmen and making friends. We had a lot of activities that [allowed] us talking to each other and working in groups… It was a lot fun, as well as the Student Involvement Fair, which allows you to meet all the different student clubs and figure out what fits you”.
— Dochi O., First-Year Student
“College is a mixture of self-satisfaction and family satisfaction, because I am a first-generation student. College has helped me learn that I’m more capable than I think I am, and I can get a degree that I am actually passionate about. Leadership development teaches you to advocate yourself, while also remembering that you have strengths and weaknesses that you can build upon.”
— Ladeycha J., Senior Student
