I was reluctant to get involved with student life once I began to attend CSM; but, I soon realized that I wanted to network with and meet students whom shared interests with me. I joined the Business Club and the Transfer Club to learn more about majors I was interested in, such as Business and Economics. Furthermore, being a part of these clubs allowed me to become better acquainted with advisers, like, Mike Mitchell and Peter von Bleichert. My time spent with these on-campus organizations let me flourish, and become more extroverted and assertive. One piece of advice that I would give to prospective students is, do not take anything for granted. Additionally, ask as many questions as you can and visit professors during their office hours.
