​Five questions to Charles Prouse on: Indigenous Business and Leadership, The Guardian, May 2014
I would encourage all students to get connected as quick as they can with their classmates - don't hold back.  I did hold back at first.  I wish I hadn't. You don't have much time. And it's important to go to review classes (these aren't compulsory but highly beneficial) - they show you're not alone when you're not sure.  People (your classmates, your professors) are ready to help.  Take advantage of it!
