Believe it or not as students we oftentimes are experiencing the same struggles. On top of that, we are surrounded by professors, advisors, mentors, and other leaders who have walked in our shoes and at one time also faced hardships. Any struggle you are facing now has already been faced by others who are willing to guide you through it and share their experiences. Always be on the lookout for these people.

Join Abel and Isaac in episode 3 as they speak with Kelley O’Neal, Director of the Marilyn Kent Byrne Student Success Center. Learn more about what those common struggles amongst students are, and Mr. O’Neal’s advice on rising out of those struggles and maintaining success.
