Last week, students at SIUE took mid-term exams to guage what they have learned over the first half of the semester. Some students spend a lot of time worrying about tests, but let me share some wisdom from former SIUE international graduate student, Vamsi. At last year's international orientation, he told a group of new international students not to freak out about tests. Instead, think of them as a celebration of knowledge!
I like to think of everything at SIUE as a celebration. Sure, classes are hard. Yes, tests are tough. But the celebration of lessons learned, friendships forged, and the new experiences had won't happen if you don't join us at SIUE!
We look forward to welcoming you to campus either at the end of May or in August, depending on when you start your courses. Please take a look at this newsletter for helpful information--but, also, let us know if there is anything you need or questions you want to ask.
We are here for you!
