CORD Student Employee Spotlight 🌟 meet Milo McCamant, 360 Program Mentor! Favorite class you've ever taken & why? "I loved Abnormal Psychology, it was super interesting to see the amazing ways the brain works depending on genetics and environments!" What is your best advice for students? "Seek out resources! Get your tuition's worth of help, there are so many people on campus that want to be there for you!" What is your favorite spot on campus? "I love the CORD, but I'm definitely biased. I just love the welcoming spirit and comfortable study spots!" How does your work support students academically? "In the 360 program, we focus on helping students who come from guardians that may not have attended college. Since these students (including myself) did not have someone to walk them through entering college, the 360 program is there to connect them with community and resources!" What do you like best about working for Student Success? "I love the friendships it has given me, and the people in my life that are a listening ear and shoulder to lean on!" #UARK #SuccessHappensHere
