Chanda Torres, assistant vice president for Student Development and Enrollment Services, provided students with motivating comments to open the program.<\/p>\n<p>SSYC was joined by partners from Career Services, Experiential Learning, Pre-Health &amp; Pre-Law Advising, International Studies (Study Abroad), LEAD Scholars Academy, and the Sophomore Ambassador Council. Event sponsor FAIRWINDS Credit Union connected with students on financial literacy as critical to their future success.<\/p>\n<p>Food and prizes were offered to students for a festive atmosphere. Students gained valuable information from the participants in areas including advising services, career planning, internships, study abroad, leadership, and engagement with student organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Students provided a 90 percent positive rating on the program, with one student stating:\u00a0 \u201cI learned that exploration, experience and &#8217;employability&#8217; are
