Large universities typically offer an abundance of resources and opportunities, but transitioning into a new environment with tens of thousands of students can be overwhelming for <a class="" href="http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges" style="color: #005ea6; text-decoration: none;">college</a> freshmen.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
"Coming to an institution like the size of UCF can be very intimidating to anyone," says Belinda Boston, assistant vice president of student development and enrollment services at the <a class="" href="http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/university-of-central-florida-3954" style="color: #005ea6; text-decoration: none;" title="Link: http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/university-of-central-florida-3954">University of Central Florida</a>, an institution with over 50,000 students. </div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
Students who are social and comfortable engaging with people from a variety of backgrounds may fit more naturally into a large campus environment, but experts say that personality and background aren’t necessarily indicators of who can and will be successful at large schools.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
"College is the great leveling field. Everyone is starting over so it’s an opportunity for a new beginning," she says. </div>
<div class="ndn_embed" data-config-distributor-id="90080" data-config-site-section="ndn2_usnews" id="ndn-video-player-2" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
Students need to be resilient, vocal and willing to leave their comfort zones to succeed at a large university, says the student development specialist. Experts<i> </i>provide the following advice to help students find their niche at a large university and excel academically and socially. </div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<b>• Remember who you are: </b>Students may feel pressure to try to fit in at big schools, but experts say that students will have better success if they retain their own identities.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
"It’s so easy to lose your individuality because students want to blend in. What we say to students is that it's OK to stand out. It's OK to be yourself," Boston says.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
College can be the start of a new beginning, but it’s important for students to remember that their experiences, passions and hobbies are still relevant. Experts encourage students to find ways to express those passions on campus and use them to build new relationships. Large universities have a multitude of school-sponsored clubs, so it’s likely that students will find something that matches their hobby or have the opportunity to create something new on campus, experts say.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
[Read these <a class="" href="http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/twice-the-college-advice/2011/09/13/5-reasons-for-getting-involved-in-college-and-how-to-go-about-it" style="color: #005ea6; text-decoration: none;" title="Link: null">five reasons for getting involved on campus</a>.]</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
With so much action happening on and around campus, the fear of missing out can be a problem for students who attend large universities, says Susan Cain, an author whose book "Quiet" focused on introverts and shyness. </div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
Cain encourages students to be introspective and take care of themselves physically and mentally. That can mean finding quiet places to recharge, studying alone instead of a big study hall, eating alone instead of in a packed dining hall and exercising and eating right.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
"Once you honor what you need, you’ll find those quiet, restorative niches," Cain says.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<b>• Engage with your peers: </b>Developing relationships with peers is another way for students to create a sense of belonging at a large university. College officials encourage freshmen to take advantage of the<a class="" href="http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/campus-ethnic-diversity" style="color: #005ea6; text-decoration: none;" title="Link: http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/campus-ethnic-diversity">diverse student body</a> and extracurricular programs as opportunity to<b> </b>broaden their world view by connecting with students from different cultures and backgrounds. </div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
"Everybody wants to connect, everybody wants to feel accepted," says Marisel Herrera, director of the First-Year Success Center at <a class="" href="http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/arizona-state-university-1081" style="color: #005ea6; text-decoration: none;" title="Link: null">Arizona State University</a>. </div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
She encourages students to ask questions and have conversations with each other, but without making assumptions or passing judgment. </div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
Experts also encourage students to make connections with older students because they can help freshmen navigate everything from studying to socializing.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
"Find someone who has already walked the path that you want to go," UCF’s Boston says.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
"Sometimes our first-year students forget to reach out to older students to use them as mentors," she says.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<b>• Learn how to network: </b>Getting a degree and making the appropriate connections for careers should be a priority, experts say. At large universities, where some core classes can have around 300 students, standing out is important.<br /><br />ASU's Herrera encourages students to sit within the first three rows of the classroom to limit distractions, ask questions and introduce themselves to their instructors.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
"Faculty are massive resources to students beyond their content that they teach. They’re phenomenal for mentoring students. They’re phenomenal for writing letters of recommendation in the future, which is really important to start building as a freshmen," she says. </div>

<span style="color: #1c3646; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">College is an exciting,
important time for expanding your horizons and preparing for your career and
life to come. On the financial front, earning a college degree is also one of
the <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001rN6uzGymOsLKFrxFOFJtKYQ1bSQIB-4uT5Sp_Fp9M_Q6m9z6JF06xlS9G9GPf9FZVjVdLtUW7r7E9Hx-bYaKjmcP028V2GA-xfC22PrxklyQ1120vEquS4N4mOhtlYTmwaErjtyxPy8g58IRLzPkgRBrcgHBfSXMAk6hJvOtCWNybNSD0M57HJ3uLagi_nj4yH-LzEMTNiRuhNvISItrovAPjLvUfEfkQAGkB8j_eheF6iX1D-sF9g==&c=isqmsw-lAH3-gJFzZIJ4yQB2UKsL-pNzUhoSYQQhz_z7SmftE-RKKg==&ch=Ft_Ad__HHVhx1Hlw-PnkBQJHoT_ZNPnPp0k9BLWsPJU-A4et2qjefA==" shape="rect" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">best investments</span></a> out there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #1c3646; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">As with all investments,
however, college requires you to pay in up front in order to reap the benefits
down the road. For most students, that means taking out student loans. While
it's easy to take advantage now of money you won't have to repay until later,
eventually those bills will start rolling in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

comes in handy. Learning about student loan repayment now can help you cruise
into your future armed with knowledge, so you'll be ready when your payments
come due.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
We are excited to announce this year's Congressional Art Competition, <strong><em>An Artistic Discovery</em></strong>, an annual event that allows high school students from our region in Texas and across the country to showcase their artistic abilities.
<br />
<br />
Any high school student in Texas's Eighteenth Congressional District is welcome to submit his or her artwork to my office.
<strong><em>The winner of the competition will win two round-trip airline tickets to Washington, DC.</em></strong> <br />
<br />
In addition, the winner's artwork will be displayed at the U.S. Capitol for a year.
The Congressional Art Competition allows Houston to showcase the talents of our creative middle school and high school students in the Eighteenth Congressional District of Texas. It provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young artists to have their work hung in the U.S. Capitol for one year.
<em><strong>All high schools in the district are encouraged to participate.</strong></em> <br />
<br />
The winner will be chosen by a panel of art experts and community leaders. When the winning artist is chosen, his or her artwork is displayed in the U.S. Capitol. In June, Congress will host a reception in Washington for winners from across the country. <br />
<br />
The winner will receive two round trip tickets to Washington D.C. to attend the reception.
Guidelines for the contest are attached to this email. Interested 9th - 12th grade students are encouraged to contact their principal, guidance counselor or art teacher. <br />
<br />
<strong>Questions?</strong> Contact (713) 655-0050 for more information.
<br />
<br />
All entries must be received by April 28, 2014, and may be submitted at 1919 Smith Street Ste. 229 Houston, Texas. <br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #323232; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
- One, $1,000 scholarship per graduate for up to ten seniors at each Texas high
school<br />
- The scholarship is accepted at many of CCST's member career schools. <br />
- The selection of students who are awarded is at the sole discretion of the
high school counselor. <br />
- School counselors should only award scholarships to 2014 graduates. <br />
- Selected students have the ability to choose which career school they wish to
attend from this list: <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KXggzSsiXc6mXArscGEcSgtbkM9eujFbD8sVU-3rMWQK16-LBBK9l1zsrzl2GbGoBH8mQ-Vkkiu8FNhH5B2ZzOmNVOmf74icCIzSygMyo1jS2rRrGeRMjwQhtroEOADZx4Y47cSjbpFkFFTinQX2vUG4r0WPZCHgBMgvZb3AYSnF1L192OvjdO4BLTUDnAdbDZ2xLUDAK6w8GK8BTSLOMxrjV5WjSGw43SLQNgDKTpI8Wxtgfb4qBpl7OrVOVXchZx_0Du8J9nTYVg8Ut3Ob0wkEk8vD2vBVs2NkFJaId6JhnaInC66TlMypdaOzCA3mEE6Mz0x3bw_jTx-7d2lBFg==&c=eYXjbB4N_yjYSIctcItO2JTcFecxvmOcAGZsNBMwLepvGxFsyJ7UcQ==&ch=r2A65P0sH9JEDKFLfrtRar1nVms4ioJCzVG1DdYgIZ2UXgjPv_mIOQ==" linktype="1" shape="rect" target="_blank" track="on">schools participating in the

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #323232; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">CCST gives high school counselors the chance to decide which
seniors receive the scholarships because CCST knows that educators have insight
into the unique need of their students. Also, because not every young adult can
or wants to attend a four-year college, the CCST career colleges and schools
offer a broad range of programs to help students advance in most every field. For
