STUDENTS IN MAJOR DEPARTMENTS

The Compass program invites students in major departments to talk about their experiences, share work and answer questions.
It is an ongoing series of visits expanding the conversation of advising as we investigate major departments. Often times, freshmen are introduced to areas of study they never considered. The conversations allow them to explore different opportunities and areas of interest.

LEWIS MORRIS-SIM MAJOR, Compass Junior
FOUNDER OF The OFFICIAL MassArt Poetry Slam
"The OFFICIAL MassArt Poetry Slam returns! Continuing to provide an open forum for poets and musicians and artists of any kind to share their work, while having a hell of a good time in the process. Poetry Slam has taken the art of the written word, and breathed new energy into it and has given audiences the raw in-your-face feel of the words and the performer behind it."

Lewis performed one of his most recent poems.
