I'm Selena Tellez and I am proud to be part of the Thrive Communications Team, where I work to promote a holistic approach to student successs -- one that recognizes the importance of addressing not only academic needs but also physical, emotional, and financial well-being. Too often, students feel they must navigate their college journey alone, striving for independence at the expense of their mental and physical health. I encourage students to recognize that self-care involves not only taking care of yourself but also being open to receiving support from others. Access to higher education and success in college is not just about individual effort—it's about the community support that surrounds us. By breaking down the stigma surrounding the need for help and embracing the resources and connections around us, we can create a campus environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, both academically and personally.
