We went through the scholarship requirements, like the 12+ credits each fall and spring semester, the 15 engagement hours, the GPA requirements and mini sessions that you need to attend.

Attended an UMD transfer advising session with S.T.R.I.V.E. and Dr. Wontae Neal was the speaker. He is a transfer advisor, and walked us through transfer opportunities like scholarships, admission requirements and other tips for registration. It was really insightful!

We did lose the game but still gave it out all. The event was rescheduled, but we were still able to support our team!

We had a CAD club meeting. We learned about constrictions on Fusion, and how they can help us make a more symmetrical model. We modeled a rocket as well, and got information about a 3D printing contest

The mini session made me reflect on things I post not only on LinkedIn, but Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat. Although I only use Instagram, I believe that my online presence there is not inappropriate, but not professional neither. It is casual, but I could add some milestones too

I was able to understand how to make my transfer process more manageable, and how to engage more in campus. Sports, clubs and other student organizations can help me network with people with the same interests as me, which is also good to know for when I transfer

A weekly CAD Club meeting. We used Fusion to create a 3D donut and evolved our knowledge on CAD. We also made a brick ring, a chess piece and a flower vase

The mini session helped me reflect on my bad habits when it comes to stress management. I now know of steps to take when under heavy stress, which will help me avoid getting overwhelmed by stress.

Joined a CAD club meeting, in which we learned about future club projects, and installed Fusion, a CAD software.

I gathered information about different universities. Also, realized that I might need some extra classes to enter the Computer Engineering program for a couple of universities, like UMD.
