Hear from Current Students: What advice would you give to another student?
“Be kind to yourself. Classes are hard, but don’t give up. If you’re struggling, don’t be afraid to reach out for tutoring or support – there’s no shame in asking for help!”
• Anamaria Navarrete Camorlinga, Atmospheric Sciences BS
“Make an effort to interact with other students and build a cohort – it helps so much to go through things together.”
• Tyra Arends, Global Environmental Sciences BS
