THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2018
Advice, stories, and expertise from a panel of Human Ecology Alumni
Being a college student and in particular, a sophomore, can be one of the most exciting and perplexing times of our lives. We are officially college students. We have left high school behind. Adulthood beckons us forward. As we contemplate our futures, there are more questions than answers. Have I chosen the right major? What kind of life do I want to live? What is the nature of my contribution to college life and my community? What are my values? Are they different or the same as my parents and friends? How do I make the most of this experience?
Take a deep breath and relax. We have all had to face these questions. And the good news is that life will give us many opportunities to answer them. Join us for this year’s Sophomore Summit. It’s a place to explore how to navigate the path to your best self; now and in the future.
