If there’s something you want to get involved in, such as research, an internship or job, don’t be afraid to reach out. Make those connections and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.

My internship helped me make progress and improve upon my product management, communication and team-working skills
As a minority and first-generation student there were so many support services to take advantage of and so many people I could connect with and relate to.
The Career Center helped me choose my majors and helped me with interviews and networking. I received multiple interviews and/or offers for internships, including two "Big 4" public accounting firms.
