Hello Amy,
Being a first-generation student can be challenging as you navigate unfamiliar territory. My advice is to connect with peers, faculty, and mentors who can offer guidance and support. Joining student organizations and attending campus events can help you build a strong network. Participating in career-focused courses and programs will provide valuable skills, access to industry networking, and enhance your work experience. Most importantly, take the time to enjoy each day.
