The ARC community is where I feel comfortable receiving help, making connections, and sharing interests. Without it, I wouldn’t have found my best friend, favorite advisor, and activities such as Flight School and Women in Business.

Sally Garner smiles for a portrait.

I work with undergraduates on their major and career exploration in addition to schedule planning. By listening to their stories, I get to understand what kind of journey they want to make of their college experience. I have the opportunity to support them in making that happen, so that’s an element that I definitely love.

Student Support Spotlight:
Jedi Thonthaengthai

I got plugged in with the Center for Multicultural Academic Excellence because of the New Student Fall Retreat, and that provided a bridge for me into academic advising and support so much earlier compared to other students. It helped me step in the right direction early on, and I’m so grateful for that.

His Academic Support Story

Early in his coursework, Jedi experienced test anxiety that made it difficult to demonstrate his learning. With guidance from an advisor, he was able to access alternative testing resources that allowed him to take exams in a different format, which he shared was a tremendous help.
