鈥淪ay yes鈥攖o the unexpected, the unfamiliar, and the things that scare you. College goes by faster than you think, and it is one of the best opportunities you鈥檒l have to challenge yourself. Lean into the moments and experiences that push you outside of your comfort zone. Growth doesn鈥檛 happen when we are comfortable. So stay curious, take risks, and give yourself the space to be surprised. When you leave F&M, leave knowing you truly showed up and did everything you wanted to accomplish.鈥�

鈥淭ake full advantage of your liberal arts education, explore disciplines you鈥檙e unfamiliar with and step outside your comfort zone. Get involved in the many clubs on campus; it鈥檚 a great way to meet people and build your network. Don鈥檛 overlook Lancaster! It鈥檚 a small city, but it has a lot to offer in terms of culture, food and events. Lastly, build meaningful relationships with F&M鈥檚 faculty. They are incredibly supportive and will be there to guide you throughout your journey.鈥�
