Steven has thoroughly enjoyed his experiences here at CCU and has a great appreciation for the students. "I get excited to talk to our students about their academic interest, professional goals, and plans after graduation." His advice for students would be to seek out academic resources (ex. academic coaching, tutoring, etc.) and professional resources (ex. career services, internships, etc.) offered on campus as you prepare for and continue your educational journey.
