College life presents a mix of challenges and opportunities, and the faculty and staff at DSU have shared insights to help students navigate this phase effectively. Their advice focuses on growth, support, and stepping beyond comfort zones.
Rus Kiser, Director of International Programs and Shooting Sports Coach, suggests that students should "take a class or join a club that isn't in your degree." He believes that engaging in activities outside one's primary field of study can prevent burnout and potentially lead to new opportunities. The emphasis is on expanding one's experiences by exploring new hobbies or interacting with diverse groups.
Marissa Schroeder, a Student Success Advisor, emphasizes the importance of seeking help when needed. She states, "We all want you to succeed. Stop by the SOAR Center (May Hall 209) with any questions or concerns you may have." Her advice underscores the value of addressing uncertainties rather than struggling alone.
