Happy first day of Viking Venture! In honor of the official kick-off, we are sharing our last bit of advice from Professor Paul Neal before the school year begins.
P.S. He's totally right!
As the first day of class comes closer and closer, Professor Cindy Johnson has an excellent tip for staying on top of your schoolwork: make a study plan (and stick with it!).
College is for learning- not only in the classroom but about yourself. Thank you to Professor David Elmer for reminding us the importance of being comfortable with who you are!
Its finally the week of Viking Venture and we couldn't be more excited. Today, FYE Director Katherine Powell has some advice that is especially important for freshmen as they start this new chapter in life!
Even though it can be easier said than done sometimes, Mentor Emily White is absolutely right. Getting enough sleep is a crucial part of being able to do your best, both physically and mentally!
We are taking a break from our usual posts today to encourage students to attend the "Take a Break" session in Memorial Library next Friday, August 17. Its a great time to unwind and have fun during Viking Venture!
This advice from Professor Katie Morales is right on the money...especially if you haven't yet started reading 'Callings,' the freshman common read book!
The countdown continues! With Viking Venture only next week, its time to take these words of wisdom from Professor Victor Bissonnette and mentor Bri Greyling and make the most of the last few days of summer vacation!
Trying not to feel stressed can be especially hard at certain times of the year, like during mid-terms or final exams. This advice from first-year mentor Alyssa Beasely is perfect for keeping in the back of your mind in the midst of those late-night study sessions!
First-Year Seminar at Berry is a course taken by all first-year students, led by an instructor and experienced upperclassman. Professor John Grout and mentor Tricia Thomas are a great example of one of our many excellent teams! (To us, they're all the best.)
