Appreciation for the alums

It was very cool that so many alumni of the Chips Quinn program came back to speak during orientation. Their insight was helpful because they were once in our shoes. I was glad that the orientation touched on a wide variety of topics. Many of them were lessons you can’t learn in college. The speakers were interesting and helpful. Overall, the program was a good experience and I'm glad I had a chance to be a part of it.
