Orientation was jammed packed with information and filled with opportunities to meet new classmates, network with alumni, and begin building relationships with faculty. Among all of the information and advice given today, one thing stands out in my mind as vital to success in this program. Get involved and be focused. Develop a long-term vision for your life and take advantage of all of the opportunities that will be available through this program to realize your vision.
Everyone in this class has been given the gift of 495 days to regroup, retool, and relaunch our careers. We have the benefit of a state of the art facility, a successful and involved alumni network, and an intelligent and talented group of classmates. Most importantly, we have a team of dedicated faculty staff at our disposal whose sole purpose is to help us refine and achieve our goals.
So, here it is, one day down. I have to ask myself, “What will I make of the remaining 494 days?”
Stay tuned and we will find out together.
