Beth Dickenson will teach Success 101 to the freshmen. In this class, the students will be taught how to answer the following questions: Who am 1? What do 1 want? How do 1 get it? “Career Choices: a guide for teens and young adults” is the book students will use to guide them to the answers.

The freshman class will be expected to write plans for their own futures. The students will need to know how to set good goals and have decision-making skills.
