“As a spouse, finding employment was a priority when we first arrived. But equally important was finding my own sense of belonging. Connecting quickly with other spouses through the Regent Spouses Network as well as new friends from Orientation and the Fall Retreat provided meaningful relationships and much needed encouragement in my quest to find work. In that first semester, I found a good job as well as lasting friendships with other students and spouses.” Liz Sidell, Kinesiologist, Wilmington, North Carolina
