Q: Any encouraging words for those who are just beginning their journey at Union College?

A: Savor every moment, take risks, put yourself out there, try new things. Shoot your shot–best case it turns out amazing, worst case you get a “no” and a good story out of it. Skellar poutine at 1am hits different. Get involved with research, there’s so many opportunities. Take an internship for class credit–great for resume. Traveling abroad is so worthwhile–“it’ll change you.” Email asking for help/changes! I finagled my way through graduating with an ID major and two minors.

A: Missing the Concordy hammock.
