Getting involved on campus matters

July 25, 2018

The end of July brings the horizon of August and soon college students from East Carolina University will return to the world of academia and all that it brings. Life as a college student consists of a multitude of things, but one facet which often gets taken for granted is campus involvement, which is one possible regret that college students can have post-graduation.

According to a 2017 survey of 444 recent college graduates conducted by the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development, about 33 percent said their biggest college regret was not getting involved on campus, which was the second biggest college regret from the surveyed group.
