What advice do you have
for current students?
The
best way to make your CLA degree work for you is to go beyond the
coursework
you need. You should get involved in the
research being done at the university, or find an internship.
Volunteer whenever you can to help boost your
resume and your experience. Each
experience you add will help guide you to that thing you love to
do. Talk with the faculty and find out what
connections you can make and what you can learn from them outside of
class. Meet with your advisors. They have so much more to
tell you than what classes
to take!!
