Coming to college, students seek expertise, knowledge, guidance, and support in their educational pursuits. One of the biggest mistakes students can make during their college career is not taking the time to get to know professors.
These are top scholars who like to impart knowledge to others and discuss their fields of study. They can help you to understand class content, discuss your academic and career goals, act as a mentor, write recommendation letters, and be a potential resource for job opportunities.
Get to know your professors by simply introducing yourself, participating in class and being attentive, engaging in class discussion, going to office hours, or attending lectures and events hosted by their department.
And always keep in mind that professors like getting to know their students and learning from them, too!
