Help Students See What’s Possible

Your experience, your stories matters.

You do not need a perfect story or all the answers to make a difference.

Think about the questions you had before college, the things you learned once you got here, or the person who helped an unfamiliar place begin to feel more comfortable.

When U-M students share honestly, mentor younger students, and show up in communities, college can feel familiar and within reach.

Sometimes the connection that helps a student keep moving is another student who remembers what it felt like to be unsure.

You may not feel like you know enough just yet.

But you do know what it feels like to ask questions, learn your way around college, change your mind, get something wrong, find people who help, and keep going.

Your story, all the twists and turns and things that haven’t happened yet, can help someone else imagine their own next step.
