![]() There's more to the college experience than the classroom. College campuses offer endless opportunities to get involved as well.
The Terry Foundation encourages involvement. It's not just a question that they ask at the interview. Here are five reasons why we, at Texas Tech, encourage it: 1. It allows you to become connected to school: Colleges are full of resources, but the responsibility is on the student to seek them out. Being involved helps you to do that. 2. It helps you build community: Since you're leaving family and sometimes friends behind, getting involved helps you discover new friends with similar interests. 3. It allows you to discover your passions and strengths: These will follow you all through life. It allows you to discover what you don't like, too. 4. It's a résumé builder: Freshman year is not too soon to begin thinking about positioning yourself for future employment. 5. Sometimes, busier kids do better in all areas: This will vary a lot by the student, of course, but more free time does not always equal better grades. Being involved will require some organization and time management on your part—and that's a good thing. |
