<p>I’m a parent of a senior Farmer student. My impression is that Miami generates a lot of opportunities for the kids. It starts with faculty members who take a genuine interest in the students and provide great counseling. In fact, my daughter felt this was more beneficial to her than she ever received from her academic advisors. Then, there are a lot of opportunities for students to differentiate themselves from the masses, through club participation, leadership positions, study abroad experiences, internships and numerous job fairs. The key is for your student to take advantage of these opportunities. They are not limited to the 4.0 students in any way. You just have to take the initiative to get involved. My daughter said the employers she interviewed with spent very little time talking to her about her academic record but instead wanted to talk about these other things. She accepted an internship following her junior year and a post college employment offer at the start of her senior year. As you might imagine, her Mother and I love FSB and Miami. :-)</p>
