Persevere for the Second Half


Welcome back to the second half of the semester.  Many of you have returned from spring break and are ready to start the second half of the semester.  Here are a few things to think about:
  • Are you happy with the way things went the first half?
  • How were you successful academically?
  • How could you improve academically?
  • What challenges are there in this second half?  Major papers? exams?
  • What plans can you make to successfully meet these challenges?

There is still plenty of time to improve if you are not satisfied with your work so far.  Take advantage of your professors, peer educators, counselors, and others on campus.  They are there for you and want you to succeed.

If things have gone well the first half, resolve to stay the course and maintain a high level of excellence.

One additional challenge in the spring is the weather!  Once it is warm and sunny outside, you will be tempted to skip class.  Don't do it!!  The semester will go quickly and you will have plenty of time to be out in the sun!

Enjoy and stay dedicated!
