	Vera Pande Contact: vpande@wm.edu  Year: Senior Studies: Biology and Policitical Science Advice: "Give yourself permission to explore widely. Try things you never expected to try, seek out people and perspectives that challenge the way you think, and don’t feel that you need to have your path figured out from the beginning. Pay attention to the questions, communities, and experiences you find yourself continually returning to. When you discover something you care deeply about, don’t be afraid to throw yourself wholeheartedly into it. Some of the paths you never planned for may ultimately shape you the most."

College is an incredible time for discovery, and one of the biggest mistakes you can make is to play it too safe. Branch out, try something new, and step outside of your comfort zone. I promise you’ll thank yourself for it."
