Advice for students: Don't be afraid to ask questions! Ask any question that you have, even if it feels like a silly one! We are all here to help you navigate the process of choosing the best college and program that fits you. You can never start the search process too early. Finding the right school for you is the most important thing, so go out and visit, attend on-campus and virtual events, start conversations with people at the school and again, ask those questions!

As someone who was a First Generation and Transfer student, I understand the challenges of navigating the college search and application process without having a traditional path to follow or familial guidance. Advocating for yourself can be intimidating at times, but don't let it prevent you from asking those questions. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone and be the change that opens doors for your future self!
