Advice for students: Begin early and pursue what genuinely inspires you. Choosing a college is more than selecting a major—it's about finding a community where you feel supported and challenged to grow in ways you may not yet anticipate. Your interests and goals may shift along the way, and that’s a natural part of personal and academic development.

Rather than simply checking boxes, seek out experiences that deepen your understanding of the subjects you’re passionate about and encourage you to step outside your comfort zone. Trust your instincts; they often reflect your needs before you fully recognize them. Ask questions—many questions—and continue asking until you gain the clarity you're seeking.

This is your journey. While no one can take it for you, know that there is a dedicated network of people ready to help guide and support you. This is a pivotal moment—embrace it fully and move forward with confidence.
