How does forming a personal connection with professors early on impact the learning experience for students at HCC? Economics instructor Renee Edwards offers her advice. “I advise students to get to know their professors as soon as they get on campus. I always encourage them to stop by during office hours and introduce themselves, even if it’s just to say hi. It’s important not to wait until they’re struggling with a test to make that connection. I believe that forming a personal connection with a professor makes learning easier. When I look at grades, I don’t just see names or numbers; I see individuals. At HCC, I see this personal interaction in the hallways all the time, reflecting our commitment to being there for our students. When students take the initiative to meet their professors, it creates a sense of accountability. It humanizes the educational experience and makes it more effective for everyone involved. When I go to class the next day after meeting a student, I’m more likely to look out for them and support them in their learning journey.” #HCC #HCCSouthwest #RealWorldEducation #WeAreHCC #studentlife #studentsuccess #education #highereducation #collegelife #learningskills #studytips #academicsuccess
