Exploration Kickoff Fair
Exploration Kickoff Fair

Exploration Week begins with the Exploration Kickoff Fair, a low-stakes chance to speak with faculty and upper-class students, compare majors and minors, and create connections with centers and research teams.
Upon entry into the fair:
As you enter the Exploration Kickoff Fair, you will join members from Student Government, the Center for University Advising, and the Center for Career Development for a 5-min session, outlining discernment practices, advice, and a few practical recommendations for how to best engage with the fair.
While in the fair:
Within Dahnke Ballroom, departments and other academic units will host tables and invite you into brief conversations about your discernment, opportunities, and potential Exploration Week events to learn more about distinct programs. Free Chick-fil-a will be available at 6:00 PM and again at 7:00 PM (while the chicken lasts!)
After the fair:
Following the Exploration Kickoff Fair, departments and programs will host specialized Exploration Week events where you can enter into further discussion about your academic discernment, witness scholars at work, and discover more about each distinct educational opportunity.
Join these departments at the Fall 2022 Exploration Kickoff Fair!
