Tips and Tricks 

  • Stay connected with your group members and leaders – feel free to get contact information from each other to stay in the loop during Orientation. 
  • Step outside of your comfort zone! 
  • Take breaks whenever you’re tired. Online exhaustion is real and we have spaced out our programming as much as possible to give you room to breathe. Most of our events are also recorded and posted on Quercus after they occur, which means you can always watch them at a later time! 
  • Make the most out of Orientation! Attend as many sessions as you can as they are very informative and gives you tips and tricks on how to succeed.
