Are you majorly confused about choosing a major? Are you undecided of your academic or career goals? It’s not uncommon to be undecided or change your mind when you start college. Now is a great time to start exploring to get on the right path. Attend this workshop and learn about the various factors to explore to find the right major for you. There will be an interactive activity that will help you get started in the process!

You be the judge. What makes a resume stand out? How will I know if my resume will grab the reader's attention? Am I including the best information? Come find out! In this event you'll get the chance to sit in the "reviewer" seat--see what to look for when reviewing a resume to help develop your own!

Helping careers come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you would like to work directly with those in need or help on a broader scale by serving society more widely, learn how to find your niche in these different helping careers and perhaps be introduced to ones that you may have never considered

A picture is worth a thousand words! Are you undecided of your major or career goals? Come attend this fun career exploration event! You will be guided through a visualization activity which will have you develop goals and draw YOUR career path.

No artistic skills necessary! Come with an open mind, a blank piece of paper, and any drawing utensils of your choice.
