My freshman year of college was tumultuous and stress-inducing but that was strongly counteracted by the guidance and assurance of my CA (Community Advisor), a senior at the time, who I regarded as an honorable role model. His advice and conversations always reassured me infinitely more than any assembly or group email the university administration arranged. In merely a few weeks of the first semester he gave me tips and pointers that I would employ for my subsequent years. For example, he told me which classes to take, which classes to avoid, and even how to focus more in class to optimize success. Given that we shared the same major, we had many similar interests so his career path and academic success seemed like a goal worthy of striving for. We were both into linked mechanisms, renewable energy, and soccer. This experience led me to believe that student leaders from freshman year can strongly contribute to general student success, as the most motivating figures are people of the same age group. This is strongly applicable to the I&E priorities we have defined, as it should generate significantly more interest, participation, awareness, and motivation.
