The work you are doing matters! No matter your discipline, be it linguistics, theatre, fine arts, cultural studies, or literature, you are doing indispensable work and learning vital skills to connect us to one another as people and root our world in that social experience. Thank you for the work you are doing, it is so, so important.

Talk with the advisors and try and find a routine and organization that works for you. In both your college schedule and daily life.

Find your community and work that you're interested in outside of academia! I've found that, for me, the academy can feel very isolating -- like you're stuck in an ivory tower. Investing time in your community and making connections can help you get out of that mindset and makes your work as a humanities student all the more meaningful.
Student Profile: Sandy Reyes Tena
I studied Spanish and Environmental Studies. Both of these areas have always been important to me and they are both closely linked to my identity.
Siya
I was born and raised in Newcastle, South Africa. I crossed the Atlantic to pursue my undergraduate studies at St. Olaf College in Minnesota where I received my bachelors studying Chinese, Economics and Political Science. While in undergrad I enjoyed working in residential life where I was first introduced to a role where I could support students. After graduating I moved to Shanghai, China where I worked at a public university before working with an American study-abroad company facilitating programs in Shanghai.
