Panel and Advising

On Monday I had the opportunity to talk with a panel of upperclassmen and an Academic Advisor each who shared important information that would benefit me and my classmates to be successful.
The panel was very nice and honest with us I feel like I learned a lot about their sense of place and experience at SSU. I learned that even though my work is important that we cannot forget about ourselves and overwork. Time management is key to being successful and that we must eventually learn what works for us and how to be organized. A lot of people figure out what is the best time management for them by trial and error. The thing that struck me about student life is that there are always events and opportunities to get involve. The panel discussed how everyone is welcoming and they have met some lifelong friends. I have personally not have the same experiences but do have the hope that throughout my years in college I hope to make strong connections and meet new people. The events on campus is a great way of meeting new people and finding yourself an what you like.
Second, Justin Snow came from advising to talk to you about advising. He reviewed degree tracker with you. Sense of place is also all the people who are around who can help you, support you, make college a place of success. 
2.  Please post about advising, Justin, your adviser and getting in touch, and your perspective of support at SSU during advising and thinking about your spring semester at SSU.
Well I was already very prepared and up to date on the degree tracker and how to use resources on navigator. Justin was able to answer my question about how to send my grades to other colleges and he informed me that I send it straight through navigator. Justin is responsible for deciding if the seniors have all 120 credits to graduate if they do not he helps to figure out why not. He informs us about how sometimes courses do not transfer over properly and make a senior have less than 120 credits.  My advisor was very impressed with how informed and how I already had classes in my cart. She did not really have to help me with but help me to decide on some  classes that maybe I need to take. She told me that I need to take some more psych courses because I have taken a good amount of this semester. 
3.Please post a picture along with the post. Some ideas are: IN this case, you can take a picture of the advising schedules, or the course catalog, or a fall day, or a spring day...trying to imagine beginning spring semester already.
