Advice from a Peer Advisor:
UMass is so big, which is amazing because there are seemingly endless resources and opportunities. Take advantage of as many of these opportunities as possible, then find your niche, develop connections in your spaces, and invest your time and energy into them. You will form such meaningful relationships and support systems this way, discover new things, and become more proud of the work you are doing.
