What advice would you give to incoming Spring Connect students?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nGet involved! The best thing I ever did was put myself out there and build relationships. At first, I was nervous to join NC State in the spring semester. I was worried I would feel out of place. However, once I actually got into my classes and began to meet people, I realized that I didn\u2019t have anything to worry about. The community at NC State is so welcoming and inclusive, so it is very easy to make friends and meet new people if you just give yourself the chance. Looking back, I am so thankful for the people I met during my first year, and it is those same friends that I am the closest with today! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am involved with the University Honors Program, Fashion Group, NC State Young Life College, Student Alumni Association and NC State's Chapter of National Society of Leadership and Success.<\/p>\n"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
