Building a Support System
The best time to seek help is before you really need it. Easier said than done. Being aware of what’s available and building your own personal support system can make the difference between struggling and thriving.
Remember, support comes in many forms; so keep an open mind. You might find it in an unexpected place. It could be a professor who introduces you to a new world, an advisor or boss who mentors you, or a classmate who invites you to new club or activity that wasn’t even on your radar.
Your Professors
Have a professor who teaches about something that fascinates you? Talk to them. Ask a question. Get to know your instructors, and they can introduce you to a whole new world of opportunities.
Advisors
Advisors can help you make decisions on classes and other opportunities to take advantage of to reach your academic goals. If you’ve chosen a major, you should have an assigned advisor within your department. If you’re still exploring your options, you can make an appointment with an advisor in the Advising and Academic Support Center.
