Saying Farewell to the Owl’s Nest and Spreading Your Wings

With another academic year ending at Rowan University, it is time to say farewell to the Owl’s Nest blog. As school begins in the fall, I hope that students can turn to this blog for advice and to calm any worries they might have. It is important to remember that starting college can be a daunting for anyone, but it is not impossible!

You should be proud to be a Rowan Prof and make the most out of your college experience. Surround yourself with the right crowd, remember that you can learn something in every class, get involved, and live in the moment. These really are your best years!
