– Thanks, Alex. How do y’all? When I first came here to UMass Dartmouth, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study, but in one trip to the STAR Center, the Student Transition and Academic Resource Center, I found people who believed in the beauty of my dreams and found a path that I was excited about. Now, in my senior year, I’ve come full circle and I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to work in the STAR Center. As a peer mentor for the STAR Center, as well as the sociology department and the honors college, I have truly surpassed my limits that I had once experienced and I now find myself in the role of helping and guiding others towards honing their own success stories. While I spend my time studying as a student of the College of Arts and Sciences, I know that there are services available to support each and every student on this campus. From the Counseling Center, to the STEM Learning Lab, every major, every minor and every mental health need can be supported here at UMass Dartmouth. I have grown into the person that I once dreamed of becoming. The diversity of opportunities has opened my eyes to new possibilities and a lifetime of success. Alex, back to you.

– It is great to hear how UMass Dartmouth student support services, create a nurturing environment for success. Your impactful journey, Logan, illustrates the power of community in helping students thrive. We’re looking forward to seeing the positive impact you’ll continue to make on your classmates and in the community. Thank you, Logan.
