Students are assigned a faculty academic advisor, a career coach, and a success advisor and they’re given the tools to create lifelong habits of healthy living and to create positive global change through service and social impact. Mike’s students engaged with one another, with their classes, their faculty, with clubs, and with issues they care deeply about, they are also encouraged to pursue their passions and uncover new ones.
