Learning to navigate those waters will be a part of a talk Alabama A&M University President Andrew Hugine will have with the school’s freshman class on Tuesday.
“I especially welcome opportunities to speak with our freshman students,” Hugine said. “They are new to the collegiate process and, in most cases, are optimistic about the fulfillment of their dreams and the avenues through which their dreams will be achieved.”
College can also be about nurturing the dreams of freshmen, not crushing them.
But while students are undergoing one of the most dramatic changes in their lives by starting college, Hugine wants to impress upon the 1,000-member freshman class their importance in the world.
Trite as it might sound, they are the future.
“This is a prime time to set the tone for their collegiate experience,” Hugine said. “They must know now that their communities, their states and this nation are dependent upon their success.
“Also, they must know that the roads which brought them thus far, at the doors of A&M, are indicative of a pattern of successful steps. Our aim is to inspire them and to remind than that much is at stake.”
