Insight Gathering Survey - Student Project

A group of current Franciscan students are looking to compile a large advice resource for graduating students. Franciscan is a unique university, with unique challenges that graduates will face when they leave campus. Who knows those challenges better than the alumni who have seen or gone through them? They would greatly appreciate if you could share tips or insights of 1-3 sentences that you think would be valuable for any graduating student as they enter the real world. Any tips, specific or general, will be presented to students anonymously.
