Meet Your Major Mentors: Free Food, Shirts, and Prizes for the Major Mentor Carnival Kickoff

The Major Mentor Carnival will occur on Monday, Nov. 13 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Chambers Hall Gym. Free food, shirts, games, and prizes are available for those who attend.

Leigh Hoffman, Dean of Student Life and Success, explained the goal behind the program.

“Recognizing that a student’s major is often their primary connection to our campus, the Major Mentor program was designed to capitalize on this connection and create intentional opportunities to build community with faculty and students within their academic areas,” Hoffman said.

Building relationships with people in your major is invaluable, but it can be difficult to put yourself out there.

“In many majors, these important connections often happen organically, but not until junior year, as the student moves into the upper-level classes and begins to have recurring encounters with other students and faculty in their major.” Hoffman said.  “The Majors Mentor program was designed to jump start the formation of these connections with first-year and second-year students by providing them with junior and senior student mentors within their majors.”

Come make connections and get some free stuff at the Major Mentor carnival!
