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!!
