Major: Other (This Major's Salary over time)
I received a very good undergraduate education and social experince at SUNY Brockport. I had two outstanding professors, that when I look back have to give credit to for my career acheivements - Dr. Tedrick and Dr. Rakov. Involvement in athletics and club activities I believe were also important in my overall positive experiences. Partipation in extracurricular activities as well as a focus on academics offers skills in team work, leadership, communication, crisis resolution, that you may not get from a textbook. Get involved with student life activities. And if I had to do it over again I would access my Student Advisor more often, take advantage of a mentor, look into opportunities offered through Career Services, and get involved with a study group. I would reccommend that new students not be afraid to 'Ask questions and learn more - party less but still have a great time. Make lots of friends and stay in touch- it's one of the best things I appreciate most,my SUNY friends who have stayed in touch, especially since we've lost two good friends since graduation. Be active in community activities and volunteer for a cause. There are so many things you can learn outside of the classroom by giving your time.
