What did you do in college that set you up for success in your career?
I think I talked a lot with my professors. I networked with them prior, outside the school as well, and I joined student groups.
Student groups are amazing. I know UCSD has some, and also DSU, so it's important to be involved in those.
Also, know the resources you have in college. There are professors that like to engage with students a lot, bringing panelists and speakers. So, it's very important to attend those events.
