'Explore A Major Fair' to Help Students Decide on Major

Undecided about a major? Need summer or fall work? Come to the "Explore A Major Fair" at the UNM Student Union Building, Ballroom B on April 27 from 12 to 5 p.m. The event is designed to help students make academic and work connections in a one-stop environment.

Gaining on-the-job experience relevant to a student’s major and raising student awareness regarding the multitude of UNM academic opportunities, helps to give graduates an edge during the inevitible job search. Representatives and advisors from several departments will be available to share detailed information about majors and minors.

“This is a great opportunity for students to have face time with advisors and to get information on the different majors and programs available. It is especially beneficial for students who have not selected a major,” said Sarah Kieltyka, academic advisor, University College Advisement Center.

UNM students are also invited to participate in a Student Job Fair, sponsored by the UNM Graduation Task Force Student Engagement Committee. UNM departments as well as community organizations with work-study contracts will be on hand in the ballroom to discuss the benefits of student employment and to recruit UNM students for summer and fall employment.
