The University of Arkansas - Fort Smith will host the annual Majors Expo from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17, in the Reynolds Room of the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center. All Ð԰ɵ¼º½ students and any prospective students interested in learning about the university’s degree programs are welcome to attend.
“The Majors Expo’s mission is to provide our students and prospective students with a one-stop-shop opportunity for those that would like to ask questions in an effort to help them make good decisions about major and career choices,� said Julie Mosley, director of Advisement.
Faculty from each department will be available to answer questions and interact with attendees, sharing real-life expectations and futures for those majoring in the program. Student representatives studying in each major will run booths and give incoming students first-hand perspectives of the programs. Attendees will also be entered into a series of giveaway raffles.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the event was hosted virtually in the fall of 2020 and 2021. To accommodate in-person delivery while maintaining safety, all individuals will be required to wear face-coverings, and attendance numbers will be monitored in an effort to maintain the safe room capacity.
“Although the university did not host an in-person Majors Expo in 2020 or in 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are excited to host an in-person event again!� said Mosley. “It’s a great opportunity for prospective students that would like to start school in the fall, to come by in a fun and relaxed atmosphere to visit with us!�
“It is also great for undeclared students who may be in their second semester to visit with us prior to the advising period.� She continued. “Hopefully, when they see their advisor, they will be better informed and will make great decisions.�
