This quarter, we sat down with GEAR UP Wyoming alum, Brianna. We were thrilled as this is our first student spotlight of someone who has completely finished school and entered the workforce.

We're so proud of her and hope you enjoy the video!

We sat down to record our next Student Spotlight with Brianna Casey, a former GEAR UP participant who got her English degree from the University of Wyoming back in 2016 and is now an advisor at the career center at her alma mater. Video coming soon!

Advice from College Freshmen: Part 4!

'Use your calendar!'

Your first year of college will be a huge change to your routine. We recommend using a digital or paper calendar to make sure you don't miss anything important.

Whatever you choose, make sure it's right for YOU.

Advice from college freshmen: part 3!

'Take it 1 day @ a time.'

None of us have finished college and thought, 'Wow, that was easy!'

But, this week's freshman reminds us to take college -- and life -- in small chunks. One day at a time.

Advice from college freshmen part 2:
Delete TikTok

Ok, we get it. All of us love to scroll through social media.

But, remember that social media drains us of time and mental focus. Remember to put your phone away when you really need to study.

Advice from college freshmen, part 1:
Always go to class!

Thanks to our college freshmen for their sage advice, and congratulations to all students on completing another year!
