Words of advice Examples • Even though your generation holds great stock in social media, there is no substitution for face-to-face communication whether in the classroom or during your professor's office hours. Get to know your professor, get to know their discipline. • Joseph P. Helgert, Ph.D. • Mark up your books! Underline, write in the margins, highlight! Be sure to get enough sleep (at least some of the time) and eat well. Studying in groups is a helpful tool as well. • Karen Zivi
