Failure is part of life. Everyone fails at something, and most of us fail often. The good news? Failure is not the end — and it’s one of the best ways to learn. Each Fall semester, Student Success, Student Transitions, Living Learning Communities, and the Honors College collaborate to share this message with our students. Failure is not a reason to give up. Persistence and utilizing your resources can change your path!
Fail Boards will be available in the LLCs, Student Transitions, the Library, and Student Success throughout the week for students, staff, and faculty to share fails and the ways they came through them. A “trash your fail” table will be on Alumni Circle on Wednesday, Sep 30th, from noon-2pm. Come Fail Forward with us!
