My advice to future scholars is to fully embrace the opportunities available to you. College is the time to learn, explore, and build a foundation for your career. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone; work in a different state, gain a new perspective, try a new field. You have four years and three internship opportunities, so make the most of them!
