DEVELOPMENT

“Remember two things, especially if you are a first-generation college student. First, do not be intimidated by your professors. They will critique you, and it may occasionally seem like a personal attack. It is not. They are trying to socialize you to the world of higher education, build your ability to self-reflect, and prepare you for future opportunities. Second, be persistent. Higher education is about intellectual ability. However, it can be just as much about climbing over seemingly insurmountable obstacles with perseverance as a priority,”    - Dr. Jason Ulsperger
