Page 16 Class of 2020 The Clarion \ May 21,2020 What advice would you give to other Brevard College students (and future graduates)? Enjoy your time at Brevard and don’t be afraid to try something new. Caro Addams Plan ahead of time. Javier Avalos Make the most of this area that our school is planted in. The campus may be small, but it’s backyard is filled with some of the most amazing opportunities- Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest, and more are unparalleled. Carson Beckett Keep track of your course requirements. Jakob Bergen Don’t rush yourself Take your time and enjoy the journey. Brevard College has so much to offer. Also, explore Pisgah. Carmen Boone Get outside! Brevard is beautiful! Molly Brown Learn a new skill/take a skill based class that you may not be familiar with. Sutton Burton The best advice I could give is to live in the moment and never say no to a trip to Waffle House. Audrey Cardwell Enjoy every moment, time goes by quick. Krysta Davis Take advantage of everything you have. All the friends you can meet, connections you can make, professors and other staff to build relationships with, activities and events offered, the community around and outside of campus and so many other things. If you do that, BC will become a great experience for you and possibly even a second home, as it was and has become for me. Zach Dickerson My advice to the ones after me is to reach out and create friends as you go because there’s strength in numbers. We’re all in this thing together, so why not enjoy it and meet a few great people along the way. DeVon Edge Enjoy the time that you have while you are here, it will go by quick. Bryce “Bronson” Foster This was when our soccer team qualified for the ECAC tournament in Maryland back in November 2018! We got to tour Washington DC in our very little free time. It was an experience I’ll cherish forever! (Courtesy of Erica Zufferey) Always complete your work for your classes but don’t get consumed in it. Make time to go out and explore with your friends! Also, don’t be afraid to ask anything from your professors, that’s what they’re there for. Emilie Fowler My first piece of advice is to be friendly with your professors. This is especially for the professors that teach the classes for your major. At a small college we can actually make those connections with peers and faculty! Stop by their offices just to say hi. Keep things professional, obviously, but you never know how much you could have in common or how awesome some of your professors are until you talk to them. I might be biased but I think the English professors are amazing. My second piece of advice is make your gen ed classes work for you. Sometimes it feels like there’s no interesting class or you feel like you won’t learn anything beneficial. This isn’t the case! I was an English major and every gen ed I chose gave me some sort of creative inspiration. I took Astronomy because I figured I would need some knowledge of space to write science-fiction. I took Art Appreciation to see how other creative individuals told a story or expressed an idea through a different medium. I even minored in Psychology because I’m fascinated in human behavior and want to portray that through my work. I could go on and on, but the fact is that there are so many interdisciplinary connections out there so pick a gen ed you think will boost your passion for your major further. Have fun and learn all you can! Alexis Henley Make friends and attend all the events hosted at the school you won’t regret it! JaTasha “Tasha” Hollinger Enjoy the process and memories you endure throughout the experience because it goes by fast. Demari “Hop” Hopper Your professors are there to help you succeed. Don’t be afraid to reach out the various resources available on campus if you’re struggling. The faculty and staff at Brevard genuinely care about you as a human first and a student second.
