student to visit SLAC for academic assistance. As well, students should utilize
their professors to help guide them through their career aspirations and
professional organizations to enhance their knowledge and exposure to their
desired career field.
Q: What has been the
most meaningful part of your McCoy Experience?
The most meaningful part of my college career has been the

professors. Especially through NABA, I have been able to surround myself with
likeminded people who continue to motivate me to be successful and achieve my
goals.
