Reaching Out to Professors: It's a Piece of Cake!

Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

After my first year at college, I have learned that professors and Teaching Assistants aren’t as terrifying as I initially thought.

Rather than some distant, smarter-than-me-in-every-way person, my professors turned out to be extremely approachable and helpful.

When I needed an extension on a paper or guidance outside of office hours, my professors were more than accommodating.

I remember a particular assignment where I needed some advice on a paper, and my professor’s office hours coincided with another class of mine. Instead of leaving me to fend for myself, my professor hopped on the phone and gave me a call that night. I asked for help, and I GOT IT.
