ARMs Testimonials
What is the best thing about being an ARM?
The best thing about being an ARM is the sense of community I feel within the program.
-Brad
The best thing about being an ARM is building relationships with students, but especially other ARMs. We all go through the same process in general, but each of us handle challenges differently, which allows us to learn from each other.
–Andrea
What do you feel you have accomplished as an ARM?
I’ve helped other students. Having students in your group see you on campus and be like, “hey can you help me with some homework,” and seeing test scores go up after study sessions showing that you helped students study harder.
–Lucas
I have helped myself become a better leader and planner, while at the same time sharing my knowledge of SCSU and making connections with students I may not otherwise have had a chance to meet.
–Lauren
If someone wanted to become an ARM what advice would you give them?
Be who you are, stay genuine and believe that even the smallest gesture can make a difference.
–Anna
I would tell them that I enjoy being an ARM and I think that it is a wonderful thing to do, also, I would tell them it’s a great way to make friends and help people along the way.
–Kayla
That they should do it! Also to keep an open mind and be ready for almost anything and never give up if you can help one person, you’ve really accomplished something.
–Emily
What was your most rewarding experience as an ARM?
I acquired some leadership skills and acquired more maturity intellectually as well as personally.
–Fatima
Walking down a hallway, through garvey, or outside and being able to put a smile on someone’s face because you recognized them by name, and acknowledged them from being in your ARM group.
