I have a great band, an
OK part-time job, and
tons of friends. Who
needs more than that
at 18? But my parents
pushed the college
thing, so I’m here.
Yeah, I sort of like
some of my classes
when I show up. My
parents are not thrilled
with my grades this
semester, but I’m
just not that
into it.
Level 1
Static Steve
I like my classes but really can’t
wait for Spring Break. Some
friends and I are going to
Florida. How cool is
that?! And I figure
that as long as I pull
mostly C’s in my
classes, I’ll be
able to get a job
after I graduate.
That’s what
matters, right?

I finally made it to the Dean’s List!
This semester is a real challenge (I’m
an information technology major,
and my economics class just
doesn’t make a lot of sense
to me), but I’ve started a
couple of study groups.
We all enjoy getting
together and not just for
the pizza; it’s amazing
how much we learn
from each other.
Level 4
Self-Starter
Sam
I’m meeting with a couple of
other international business
majors about a paper we
wrote that’s been accepted
for
The Journal of Global
Business
. Paul, my mentor,
has helped put me in touch
with some other people who
are working on some of the
same business problems I am.
My research paper still needs
some reference checking, so
I’ve got to go!

I’m still only an undergraduate, but my decision to study pre-med is clearly
the right choice. While I was doing research on community health clinics
for an honors course, I got involved in organizing a local community health
education initiative. I’ve the project apply for a grant, and it looks like
the funding will come through! I’ve been asked to speak at a national
conference on community health, and while I’m a bit nervous about
addressing such a large group, the important thing is that the project is
getting the attention it deserves and that I can help it continue to grow.
