The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP - Fort Smith will host its annual Majors Expo from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24, in the Recreation and Wellness Center (RAWC).
This year’s event will have a dedicated time block for prospective students and their parents from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., in conjunction with Accepted Student Day.The event will open for current students at 11:30am.
“The Majors Expo is an excellent opportunity for entering students to come to campus and meet faculty in the discipline of their major,â€� said Julie Mosley, Director of Advising at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP. “Our hope is that it will help the student be more knowledgeable, while allowing them to build relationships with faculty, staff and other students.â€�
Faculty from each department will be available to answer questions and chat with attendees, sharing real-life expectations and career options with students for those majoring in the program. Student representatives studying in each major will run booths and give incoming students first-hand perspectives of the programs. Attendees will also be entered into a series of giveaway raffles.
“The Majors Expo is an event that all current Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP students should attend if they have not yet declared a major or if they are unsure if their current major is a good fit and are considering a change,â€� said Mosley. “It’s also a great opportunity for prospective students that would like to start school in the fall, to learn about Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP in a fun and relaxed atmosphere!â€�
“Career Services will also attend and can help students with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP platforms that can assess someone’s skills, interests and values and match those characteristics to majors that we offer,â€� she continued. “And they can provide data to help students understand the projected outlook for many jobs.â€�
