>> My best advice is take advantage of the time that you have in college.
It sounds really cliche, but it is the best 4 or 7 years of your life.
And I think that this is your opportunity to really take advantage
of resources you're never going to have in the future.
So, you know, career services.
A lot of people think, well, I won't utilize that until I'm a senior.
But if you use them as a freshman and you start going to career fairs and you start, you know,
working on your resume, practicing your interviewing,
by the time that it really matters you're going to be set up for the future.
I would also say, you know, get internships.
You can never have enough experience.
Nobody gets hired anymore right out of college with no experience at all.
You have to really sell yourself in college.
And then get involved.
College is not as much fun unless you're actually integrated into the college campus.
And being a commuter student, that was something that I struggled
with for my first couple years here.
But once I started getting involved and I started getting to know people and taking
on leadership roles on campus, it really became a special thing to me.
And now it's something that I hold near and dear to my heart, and that's why I love coming back
for [inaudible] students, because for me it's a way
to give back university that has given so much to me.
