INNOVATOR. MOTIVATED. COMPASSIONATE.
鈥淲hen it comes to education, there is nothing stopping you from achieving your full potential. Plan carefully every single semester and register for any extracurricular class that might contribute to your professional goal. If in doubt, do not hesitate to seek academic support from the Student Success Center or academic advisors. Be proactive and try to take advantage of the many wonderful research opportunities being offered at the U of L as early as possible. Study smarter not harder. Doing your assignments ahead of time and studying a couple of hours a day might save you from having regrets and long nights at the end of the semester. Last but not least, don鈥檛 forget to enjoy life!鈥
