Piece of Advice for New Students: The philosophy I’ve had when starting something new in life is “to leave it better than you found it”. In order to have the impact going to school is intended to have, one must get involved. Do something that takes you out of your comfort zone. When it’s all over, you will likely be a better person than when you entered school. And the organization you chose to get involved with will likely be a better organization thanks to your involvement.
