Dear Sophomores,

Hello and welcome back to another exciting and action-packed semester of studying, procrastinating, parties, midterm terrors, caffeine-fueled cramming and absolute elation after another triumphant trial by final. Last semester was the first of many challenges of character and resolve. As you settle back in, get ready because this next level is slam packed with mind-bending puzzles, contemptuous mini-bosses and at least one Demogorgon of an exam. Fear not however, VSU has a plethora of pastime easements, professional academic assistance programs and clubs that are invaluable resources to conquer any college crucible. Check the “Campus Connect” under “My VSU” on the VSU website for access to student happenings and clubs. Also, check your VSU email regularly for a weekly update on all sorts of fun events, from movie/game nights, hiking trips, community involvement and study sessions. We all know college can be tough at times, but it’s the challenges and how we react to them that define us. Go out there, show the world what you’re made of, and blaze a path to success.
