My study experience at RU equipped me with many essential skills, including CAD skills, which have been invaluable in my current role as a content creator. Learning these skills in class allowed me to immediately apply them in my work, enhancing my productivity and effectiveness. My advice to prospective and new students is to fully engage in class, practice regularly, and seek out opportunities to apply what you learn in real-world scenarios to maximize your professional growth.
