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.
