Favorite thing about Kent State University: My favorite thing about Kent State is the resources. There is someone or somewhere I can go to get help with anything that I may need help with, making my college experience more smooth. If I don't know where to go get help, I still can find someone who could help me get in contact with another department or faculty member to assist me.
Favorite Book: If you give a Pigeon a hot dog by Mo Willems
Advice to Students: My advice to students is to take the time to get organized and prepared for college while you are still in high school. Practice using tools such as a planner to organize different things like assignments, work, and extracurricular activities. That way you can plan ahead and will have an idea of how your week may go. Also, get used to reading your syllabus. Your professor may not read off your syllabus to you every day or week, it is your job to make sure you look at it to be sure you are keeping up with your work. Even if school or classes are canceled still follow your syllabus.

Favorite Book: The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley
Advice to Students: My best advice for students is to not be afraid of change. Follow this quote by Lisa Brooks, "I've learned that things change, people change, and it doesn't mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means that you move on and treasure the memories. Letting go doesn't mean giving up... It means accepting some things weren't meant to be."
