"After being contacted by U-RISE, the actions I took after were being more attentive at class, inquiring more about the given assignments, and not being afraid to ask the professor questions if I have any. The advice I have for other students is to be open and receptive to any advice that U-RISE offers." - Senior, Spring 2023, Business Management
