Resources and Opportunities

Your Major Department is your new academic and intellectual home. Cultivate relationships with people and resources while staying in touch with faculty and advisors from prior years. Stay connected with your department’s student affairs administrators when you go overseas so that you don’t miss opportunities and deadlines that are managed through the home campus.

Contact other academic resource offices early and often to allow ample time for planning and applications:

• Undergraduate Research
• Scholarships and Fellowships
• Community Center Resources
• Student Government
• Overseas Studies
• Student Activities
