Today, Michael is an intern in corporate communications at the VI Water & Power Authority while he completes his senior year. His advice to new students is,
"College is not as hard as you think. Yes, you have to work hard but you'll find many professors who want to support and challenge you. UVI should definitely be on your radar."
"Just because it's home doesn't mean it's not great. Come with a positive attitude, be willing to grow yourself, get involved and you will do great and go far."
