- Be open to experiences. Attend activities and events. Talk to others involved in activities you may be interested in joining to help you make decisions about what you want to get involved with.
- Tip Three: Balance [top]
- Be sure to balance your out-of-classroom and classroom experiences. You will gain many benefits from your curricular involvement; however, we don't want you to neglect your academics or health by getting overcommitted due to your involvement. Think about the time and commitment level you want or can devote to an activity or experience. Many opportunities have different levels of involvement. Be sure to ask what these may be for an organization or a position. This can help you decide what you may be able to commit too.

- There are many resources on-campus that can help you explore ways to get involved on campus. You may want to start by visiting the Dean of Students Office, located in Titan Student Union, Room 235.
