Tips for Success

What does faculty expect from students? Here’s what we tell them:

• Be curious and willing to shape your learning and inquiry.
• Be active learners. Seek assistance from your faculty, your advisor, your mentors and the Learning Resource Center staff.
• Ask questions!
• Seek connections. Look for relationships between things.
• Take risks. Be willing to think and see differently.
• Challenge yourself and your classmates to learn from each other.
• Bring your best self every day.
• Take yourself seriously. We will.
• Have fun. There is joy in creation and learning. Creating and critiquing are intense, but they are illuminating.
