 * Tips for Success**
 * Electives**
 * Take as many electives as possible, especially during your first two years of college.
 * Test out the different fields of study you may enjoy pursuing before declaring a major or finding an internship.
 * Ask roommates, teammates, and faculty for recommendations on electives.
 * If you have a really hard quarter of classes scheduled, take one “easy” or fun class outside of your major to lighten your workload.
 * Switch majors or declare a minor if you take a few electives from a certain field and realize you enjoy that area of study.


 * Mentoring**
 * Realize that you do not have to make any decision or do anything hard alone – there is always someone available to help.
 * Find a mentor for any area you may need support, guidance, or help (academics, career, life).
 * If your school offers a mentoring program – get involved!
 * Look for mentors at your college: professors, academic advisors, staff, teammates
 * Notice the people that are taking extra steps to help you out (these could be your mentors without directly telling you so).
 * Make sure you and your mentor take the time to make your relationship worthwhile.
 * Look for a mentor who not only supports you, but also challenges and critiques you to help you grow.
 * Constantly remind your mentor how much you appreciate their help.
