What would you recommend to a current or future student?
I would recommend adopting a proactive approach, seeking learning opportunities outside traditional classrooms. It's also crucial to build a network of contacts with professors and colleagues, as these relationships can be vital for professional development. Furthermore, it is essential to strive to gain as much practical experience as possible, either through internships or by participating in research projects. This allows you not only to apply what you've learned but also to enrich your skill set with practical knowledge.
