Explore Programs, Pathways, and Declare a Major on March 28
This story has been updated. Due to inclement weather, the Quad activities of this event will take place on Tuesday, March 28 at 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Students are invited to explore academic majors and learn about career options during Major Declaration Day on March 14. The event will take place on the quad from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and brings together Fullerton College academic programs and career pathways.
“The event is designed to collectively promote student engagement, provide interactive career exploration and counseling experiences, and explore academic pathways to help affirm and confirm majors,” said Dr. Flor Aguilera Huerta, counselor and chair of the Pathways to Success Committee.
Counselors will also be available at the event to provide students with information about academic options and degrees and certificates offered at Fullerton College, Aguilera Huerta said.
Students can win prizes for participation in two or more activities on quad. The quad will be transformed into sections to help connect students directly with counselors, explore a variety of majors, and connect students to resources that support the entire student journey.
Some additional highlights of the event also include information sessions and interactive workshops taking place in Building 200 throughout the event. Those sessions include:
Your Major & Transfer: Psychology, 10 – 10:45 a.m. at the Transfer Center in Room 212
