This session helps students recognize the institutional barriers that often make college feel alienating and overly complicated . We build an understanding of those barriers, give students a positive outlook on their academic career, make a plan to address specific barriers that have been troublesome for them and help them to recognize the benefits they provide to the university in order to bolster a sense that not only do you belong here, you make HSU a better and more interesting place.
