ACAA team! 🙂
We have been in the process of implementing some major specific programming over here in the College of Arts & Sciences, Social Sciences division, and we wanted to make sure this information/opportunity reaches each office, and to your students. I’ve included some context and the messaging that has already been sent to declared students but please feel free to share with students that you think may benefit. There are flyers attached and graphics at the bottom.
Context reminder:
Over the summer of 2024 we moved more than 500+ students through group advising for Psychology and 125+ incoming and transfer Environmental Science & Environmental Studies students as well. As an advising group we have decided that was just not enough time! So, we decided to develop (pilot) a yearlong advising workshop series for AY 2024-25 called “Re-IntroDUCKtion”. Fall term we started by doing a full major overview for these 3 majors and are happy to say that we were able to support more than 125 students! For winter term, we are going to shift our focus to experiential learning and work to inform students about all of the ways they can lean deeper into their major.
Student messaging:
We’re so happy to have you on campus and welcome you to the University of Oregon! This last summer’s IntroDUCKtion flew by, fall term is now a distant memory, and now it’s time to do a deeper dive and explore all the ways you can get more involved in your major. As a Psychology/Environmental Science/Environmental Studies major you are part of a year-long workshop series called Re-IntroDUCKtion. Over the course of this coming year we will do a major deep dive (fall-done!), explore opportunities to get involved in the major (winter-sign up now!) and investigate potential career pathways (spring-coming soon!).
During this important workshop you will:
- Revisit registration and get advising support for spring.
- Explore all the ways you can get involved in your major:
- Research & Departmental Honors Program
- Study Abroad
- Internships and other experiential opportunities
- Peer advising and tutoring (Psychology)
- Enviornmental Leadership Program (ESCI & ENVS)
- Get an introduction to the folks helping to support you on your experiential learning journey.
- Meet other CAS students and connect with your CAS advisors!
- FREE snacks and a chance to win $25 in Duck Bucks 🙂
