Abstract:
|
The Major Experience (TME) is a University of Connecticut program designed to help students explore majors in a holistic and intentional manner. By offering peer connections through TME Student Mentors, personal guidance from Academic Advisors and Career Counselors, and access to an assortment of valuable tools, TME empowers students to be deliberate and purposeful in their journey. Everyone can benefit from taking the time to examine their options, whether they're anxiously undecided or comfortably declared. However, preconceived assumptions and myths about majors prevent students from being able to take full advantage of the process. This presentation will focus on the importance of elevating the student approach to major exploration by acknowledging and correcting these misconceptions and demonstrating that choosing a major isn't quite so major. |
