The Thrive Checklist

  • Find Your Group: Join at least one club or intramural team in your first two weeks.
  • Meet Your Professors: Visit office hours early—even if you don't have a question.
  • Master Your Schedule: Balance your study blocks with actual rest to avoid burnout.
  • Know the Resources: Locate the campus health center and writing lab before you actually need them.
  • Stay Connected: Keep in touch with home, but prioritize building your new campus community.

A student's personal drive and integrity matter more than the name of the school on the diploma.
