It’s not always an orderly process…

Your Fairfield “to-do” list

• Seek out big ideas, skills you need and important issues, not “classes”

• Cura Personalis begins with you … taking yourself seriously

• Mentors are “how to” guides for people who are ready to take the next step

• Hack your major, go after it in a big way

• Many internships: seek good-better-best, not “perfect”

• Connect casually, connect intentionally, connect strategically
