What does it mean to thrive in college?
Put simply, it means to grow as a person in all sorts of ways. Students who thrive are not only academically successful but also engaged in learning and other opportunities beyond the classroom. They cultivate a curiosity about the world and their place in it. They make meaningful connections that expand their sense of community and support their well-being.
Thriving in college means that students will leave college with more knowledge and skills, enriched by lasting relationships, greater self-awareness, and confidence in their ability to learn and meet any challenges that come their way.
