8. Tips to students:

- Ask Questions! The only way to learn is by asking questions. Make good use of your commerce big buddy. Feel free to drop by the ASUT office if you have any questions for us!

- Make good use of the resources available! You can have your resume edited at the career centre. There are all kinds of books on resume-building, job-hunting, networking, and workplace etiquette at the career centre library. Use the athletic facilities. Read the free newspapers and the commerce group publications. Attend commerce events!

- Plan ahead! Time-management is the key. Set your priorities and don't procrastinate to the last minute. Don't forget to give yourself some time to relax and play hard!

- GET INVOLVED! Go to events and join a committee! It's never too early or too late to get involved. I met most of my commerce friends from extracurricular involvement. Commerce would be a memorable experience and your tuition would be worthwhile only if you make them so!
