Kris L'Heureux '24 He/Him I'm Kris and I'm from from Worcester. I'm majoring in Exercise and Sports Science with plans to become a Physician's Assistant. A fun fact about me is when I was 6 years old I jumped off a moving train, and still have a scar from it. My favorite place on campus is the ceramics room. My advice for first year students is make sure to use your resources, such as advising and study rooms. You'll be surprised at how much they might help! Everything is trial and error, but if you're having a problem, it's very easy to find help on campus. Don't be shy to ask for help because it will bite you in the end. |

Tim Lwanga, ‘23 He/Him I'm Tim and I'm from Medford. I'm majoring in Psychology and plan a career in Counseling/Therapy. My favorite place on campus is the Rec Center. My advice for first year students is take time every week to make a study/homework plan. It will help prevent you from falling behind or become overwhelmed with work piling up on you. |

Lia Reyes Jimenez, ‘23 She/Her I'm Lia and I'm from Lawrence. I'm studying Criminal Justice and want to be a police officer. One fun fact I want to share is my middle name is Celeste but in English it’s Sky Blue. My favorite place on campus is the fourth floor of the library, the view is awesome and relaxing. My advice for first year students is be yourself, live your college experience as best as possible. It's never too late to switch majors, don't do a career that you don't enjoy learning about. Do something that you are proud of and makes you happy. |

I'm working on user experience (UX) and user interaction (UI) as well as design production. I'd like to pursue a career along those lines working on building stronger relationships from other cultures in the corporate world. My advice for first year students is take the time to get to know your resources on campus. |
