Faculty is included as a subject in "personal responsibility month" because it is your personal responsibility to get to know your professors and staff to get the most out of your education in college. You have to go out of your way to make the first move and introduce yourself to the faculty. By doing so you open yourself up to greater oportunities and that in turn helps you be more successful in class. It also helps build your network and connections so you have a better chance of landing a career after you graduate. For me the faculty member I would like to get to know further would be my accounting 2 professor, Dr. Chris Prestigiacomo. This is because I am an accounting major and even though Im not struggling in his class I would like to know him to further my personal career. Getting to know him would help me plan out my future better as a business student and would also help me to get more information about the accounting feild. Hopefully it could also lead me to making connections for internships or jobs in the future. To get to know him i could simply just visit his office during his hours and introduce myself.
