you along every step of the way.”

with my major and seeing, you know, what are the interdisciplinary things that I can
do or look at, especially with research.”

Nick K.: “So there's no confusion about what your path in Gleich may be. For me, I definitely
want to take the more research side of things, but that's not necessarily the case
for everyone.”

Nick K.: “You can also do a lot more like community outreach. You can do more global research.

about the Honors College.”

friends and make connections for people who are trying to do the same kinds of things
that I'm doing.”
