Majors in {Minutes}

Hey everyone, It's Caitlyn again! Just letting you know about an AWESOME event going on tonight: Majors in Minutes!

Here's the breakdown:

What it is: A way for students to learn more about a major. Its set up is similar to speed dating; every 7 minutes, a bell will ring and you have the choice to stay at your current table or visit a new one, it's totally up to YOU!

Where will it be: The Maucker Union ballroom.

When is it: TODAY! It begins at 7:00 p.m. and goes until 9:00 p.m.

Why you should go: This is a great opportunity to learn about all of the majors on campus. Not only are you becoming more familiar with UNI's majors, you are also meeting with students and getting their perspective on all of the programs, courses, and organizations provided.  An additional perk: FREE CANDY!

The glory of this event is you have the option to stay however long you want! Visit one major, or visit them all! It's up to you.

Not sure what to ask when you get there? Below are some questions you might want to consider:
  • What do you study in (insert major here)?
  • How did you get involved in this major?
  • What are the different jobs/careers in this major?
  • What surprised you about the major?
  • What types of classes do you take? What classes would you suggest I take to learn more about the major?
  • Are there skills or experiences I should have if I am thinking about the major?
  • What do you like the most about this major? What do you like the least?
  • Are there opportunities for internships or field experiences in the major? What are some examples of things I could do?
  • Would you recommend getting involved in campus organizations? If so, which ones?
  • Anything else you want to learn!
This is a great opportunity for any and all students! I hope to see you there!
