Your Viterbi Journey Starts Here
Dear Students,
I am thrilled to welcome you to the Viterbi community. You are joining a support network of faculty, staff and students who will be key to navigating this journey. Our expectations are simple. We expect you to treat every experience as an opportunity for growth and development. We
“ When we give ourselves permission to fail, we, at the same time, give ourselves permission to excel. ” ELOISE RISTAD expect for you to experience both success and challenges during your time here, but we also expect that you will learn to see failure not as an obstacle but as part of the natural learning process. Finally, we expect you to honor your whole person and to be kind to yourself. You are embarking on a rigorous engineering curriculum program, which is why we would like to encourage you to draw on your Viterbi community and the full range of resources available to you. Remember that help is only a question away. And we get thousands of such questions! Each person you meet is one more opportunity to add to your network — to learn from each other’s experiences and grow from your own. Always remember that you have to be well in order to do well and that includes acknowledging and nurturing the emotional, physical and social parts of your lives. You don’t need to be everything. Just be yourself, find your passion and make your time here unique and purposeful. MAKE YOUR JOURNEY UNIQUE TO YOU.
