Meet the C.R.E.W. Leaders

Say yes to everything. Say yes to going out, to going to that random event, to joining that organization even if you’re not sure about it. Just say yes. Do not limit yourself to the many opportunities that are on campus. Being open and willing to try new things will seriously change your college experience.

Be open minded! Even if things do not go as you planned, it's important to be able to roll with the punches and adapt to whatever is happening. Remember that when one door closes, another one opens.

Surround yourself with people who have the same goals and aspirations that you do. The people you hang out with your first year will influence how you spend most of your time. If you want to get involved find a friend that wants to do the same, or if you want a 4.0 GPA find a study group. This will help you accomplish any goals you want to achieve during your first year!

Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Talk to people you don’t know, join everything you’re interested in. Take a lead in organizations. Most importantly focus on your academics and make sure you know where to get help if needed. College is hard and there’s no need to go through it alone.

Your journey is your journey. The amount of ups and downs you have, or hiccups in the road do not define you. Also, be comfortable with change. Not everything is going to go how you want it to, and that is perfectly okay.

Prioritize school, rest, and what matters most to you. College is what you make of it, so be open, take your time, and don’t be afraid to start, even if it’s later than planned.
