Advice or Tips for any L&C students: You might look around and not see many people who share your story, but don’t shrink yourself. The grit, the work ethic, the community you come from? That’s your strength. Own it, and don’t be afraid to speak up, even if your voice shakes.

While you’re here, take advantage of everything. Use campus resources: tutoring, counseling, and career support. Take classes that challenge you and electives that surprise you. Join clubs that reflect your passions. Every opportunity you take builds your power. You belong here
