Majors and Graduate Programs Fair

Tuesday, March 13, 2012
11:30 AM to 3:30 PM
Memorial Union Ballroom 

The Third Annual Majors and Graduate Programs Fair is March 13th from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union Ballroom. The fair is sponsored by the Office of Provost, the Office of Student Affairs, and the Academic Advising and Career Exploration Center.

The purpose of the event is to provide all students the opportunity to access faculty, staff and students from all academic departments in one location to assist in answering academic inquiries.

For undecided students, the event will allow them to be exposed to the variety of major options available at FHSU. They will be able to learn about specific requirements for majors, curriculum, and career options.

For decided students, they will be able to learn about minors, certificates, research opportunities and graduate school. Faculty and staff from all departments will be available to talk and discuss topics with students such as:

• What their program has to offer students
• How students could benefit from a minor certificate, or undergraduate research at FHSU
• Internships and research options that a program has to offer
• Career opportunities with a particular degree in a global economy

Networking is made easy for students who are already decided and want to learn how to stand out in a sea of graduates. At the Majors and Graduate Programs Fair, students can meet faculty and staff from their academic department and begin to build relationships that can turn into job references. They can also meet students with the same interests which can lead to friendships and peers that they can count on.

Students that attend the Majors and Graduate Programs Fair will be able to register for prize giveaways. Prizes this year include a flat screen TV, 2 Blu-ray/DVD players, 2 iPod Suffles and other FHSU items. Prior to the event, an online Facebook trivia contest provides students an opportunity to enter for a one in five chance to win a FHSU prize. Rules and regulations for the trivia contest are posted on the Academic Advising and Career Exploration Facebook page (www.facebook.com/fhsu.aace). Trivia questions are posted each Thursday and answers are accepted until the following Wednesday. The drawing for trivia winners will be held at the Majors and Graduate Programs Fair and winners must attend to collect their prize.
