Get INVOLVED!!!

As a college student, it is important that you get involved as early as possible. No, you do not have to join 5-10 organizations like I did but find your passion. Here are a few tips to help you as you begin your quest to GET INVOLVED!

1)  Check with your student life office to find out the organizations that are offered on campus. 

2) Try out a meeting or two to see where you fit. Do not try to participate in an organization just because a friend has joined.

3) Attend 1-2 meetings before oficially becoming a member.

4) Ask around. People would love to tell you about their experiences with organizations. 

5) Get your name out there. You might be a shy person from a small town but guess what??!! College is an experience. Don't ever forget to make connections and network. You may need a job from someone or be the boss that needs to hire some employees. 

6) Many college relationships will last a LONG time (yes, many people find their soulmates in college-I did! :) ) 

7) Lastly, BE OPEN!!
