Last summer, we asked all 18 departments in Student Affairs what advice they had for incoming first year students. And we love what they came up with!

Advice ranged from the inspirational to practical to silly. Here’s a sampling of our favorites from the whole project, but if you want to see all of it, hop over to Twitter and search for the hashtag #AdvicefromSAF!
