The Business math classes had the privilege of having CVCS alumni, Hunter Cleland, speak to them about his freshman year of college. The students had a question and answer panel where he fielded questions about the cost of books, working on campus, intramural sport participation, class syllabuses, weekend life, time management, costs, how to study, roommate experiences and college food. Hunter is a chemistry education major at the University of Buffalo. We were thankful he took the time out of his busy schedule to speak to our class. #ValleyProud
