"Having the opportunity to connect with current SSU students and share my story was very rewarding," he said.
Reflecting on his time as a Seawolf, Osburg-Head said he loved being a student at SSU, "and life after college is better than you think, regardless of the stress and overall pressure."
"It's important to remember that every student's journey and transition through graduation and life after college is different,” he said. “There is no template or steps that are the same for everyone. You just need to realize that the first job you get after graduation does not need to be your forever career. You can change your mind and determine what works for you if it’s not the right fit."
Whether Sonoma State alums are on campus or on the other side of the world, the Alumni Association is committed to supporting the learning process and building a community of support, O’Neil said.
