Listen to and engage with recent UMBC alums who successfully and creatively navigated through the process of choosing a major.   Some of these alums were exploratory or “undecided” about their options when they began. Others made strategic transitions from their first majors into other programs that led them to graduation - great careers and post-graduate opportunities.    Participants can anticipate learning about:

·         decision-making strategies regarding majors & minors

·         key resources that are “difference-makers” here at UMBC

·         career development tips & graduate school planning recommendations

 

Moderated by Ken Baron (Assistant Vice-Provost for Academic Advising & Student Success, panel members with share their stories about qualities and philosophies that propelled them forward through grit to greatness!
