EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS OF SUCCESS

WHAT MADE AN IMPACT FOR YOU AT THE CONFERENCE?

Connecting with nationwide colleagues • “Hearing the good, the bad, and the ugly from around the country

really helps you realize that we are all in this together, and that

sharing our good can help those dealing with the ugly.”

– Cara Wetzel, Undergraduate Studies Program

Connecting with nationwide colleagues • “I value the socialization with old and new Purdue colleagues

plus conversations with the new acquaintances in the hallway or

at the table just prior to or directly after the presentation.”

– Pat George, Pharmacy

New vocabulary – “voluntold”

• A nice way to say no volunteers will be solicited and you have

been selected to do the task.

HUNDREDS TO CHOOSE FROM…HARD TO GET TO THEM ALL

Harry Pickens, The Breakthrough Best Semester System

Keep your glass full. • You can only take care of others if you are taken

care of.

• If you don’t find and go after your own passion you will run out of “stuff” to give those that need you.

• What is most important to you in your life…then make it happen.

• Remember the good moments to help pull you through the hard times

• If you’d know you’d be successful & what it looks like when you got there - how would you act now?

• It is hard work to be present at all times.

Empower yourself to make your ambitions happen.
