Movement of Change: An analysis of Turning Points by former UT Presidents William Cunningham and William Powers Jr. As a first-year freshman, I often get asked what my major is and what I plan to do with it.

Students can wind up with the “well-known phenomenon called the “Stanford duck syndrome” (1).” While they seem to be calm underneath it all they are struggling to stay afloat (1).

Isn’t it great when you think you’re finally out of high school, but the week before you start classes at Texas State University you’re required to sit in cold classrooms and participate in icebreakers with other students you’ve never met before? I didn’t think so.
