In one's time at University, change is everywhere. Semesters change; friends change; majors change; roommates change; living spaces change; courses change; grades change; jobs change; thoughts change; You change. How is Texas State a place that loves You into the best You? What here is focused on Your Becoming? And how can You jump in the Flow such that You are Open to all the possibilities? From Brandon's experience as student, faculty, and Transcend Advisor, he will share experiences and wisdom related to this topic.
