How can I make myself stand out from the crowd?

 

Consider the possibility of a double major or at least a minor in a complementary field. Of course, what you select will depend heavily upon your area(s) of interest. Consult you advisor first. Possibilities at Minnesota State University Moorhead might include: international business, economics, political science, community health, biology, computer science, and social studies. Think seriously about acquiring foreign language and/or computer proficiency. Take courses in technical writing and speech communication to hone your writing and speaking skills -- they will serve you well when the time comes to market yourself for a job. Additionally, consider doing an internship and/or a study abroad program. Taking classes alone cannot give you the same experience as getting out there in the real world and, sooner or later, you're going to have to do it anyway! And finally, talk and work with your professors. Stop by and ask questions or just chat. Try to make yourself stick out from the rest. We are here to help you but we can only assist if you also put forth maximal effort.
