Scott Dolson, “Indiana University offers an opportunity for a wealth of new experiences, and I recommend that you get outside of your comfort zone and experience as many as Director, possible. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime, and I encourage freshmen to take advantage IU Athletics of it. From the arts to athletics to a multitude of student groups, there’s so much to see, do, and experience outside of the classroom. Speaking of the classroom, my second piece of advice is make sure you’re there and involved. Classroom attendance is critical in my opinion. Don’t fall into the trap that you can get notes from a classmate. You’ll hurt yourself and miss out on a lot of what our world-class institution has to offer.”
“Stay Humble and Hungry and you will accomplish far more than you ever imagined. In this chapter of life called college you never lose, you either win or learn so buckle up!

A dream without a plan is nothing but a wish so plan better and dream bigger!”

“Embrace the beginning of your college experience with an open mind. Don’t have too many expectations or prior biases that affect what you pursue or don’t pursue throughout your college years.”
“Normally it is a time of joy, a time of nervousness, and a lot of emotions that’s happening. And especially in the time of COVID-19, a lot of those emotions can lean more towards the negatives because there can be more uncertainty of what might happen. But what I have been telling some of the students is I see this more as a greater adventure. I see it as an opportunity to really show what we are made of, what we can do. So take everything as an adventure and as an opportunity for growth and recognize that you’re not doing this alone.”
“First I’d like to say we’re very excited to welcome this class to the IU family. I would encourage students especially during the summer this year to take advantage of all of the new student orientation programming and opportunities that you’re going to have. We want you to take the opportunity to take advantage of IU’s diversity of thought and experiences and to get involved in ways that are familiar but also new. Challenge yourselves in your involvement and thinking and in your view of the world.”
