“As a transfer student, I was concerned with how I would fit in, but USCB’s English professors work hard to help us succeed and I have met so many wonderful people in my time here. My English courses have prepared me for realistic workloads, deadlines, and most importantly provided me with invaluable feedback from both faculty and peers, causing my writing to continue progressing. I am a student worker with the Advancement Department at USCB and am really enjoying my experience with them.”
