Q&A with Quientina

At JWU, education is not confined to the four walls of the classroom. You’re not going to spend four years with your nose buried in a book, learning theories you may never get a chance to apply — you’re going to get out there and apply them, be it through internships, group projects, leadership opportunities, competitions and more.

What Advice Do You Have For Incoming Freshmen?

Be a sponge. Keep a journal. Open your mind and learn as much as you can (the good and the bad). Never be afraid to seek help or advice to sift through the good and the bad. Be willing to put in time to practice and develop a skill or talent that will help turn your passion into a career. Remember you will only get out what you put into your time here, so focus on positively building yourself up.
