Re-IntroDUCKtion Workshop Series Spring Edition: Career Pathways

deck Student Opportunities

ACAA team! 🙂

Over the course of this year, 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 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, for winter term we shifted our focus to experiential learning and worked to inform students about all of the ways they can lean deeper into their major. We are happy to say that we were able to support more than 200 students over both terms! For our spring term workshop, we are going to cap the academic year by offering an in-depth look at the various career pathways in those majors.

 

Student messaging:

We’re so happy to have welcomed you to campus and the University of Oregon this academic year! Last summer’s IntroDUCKtion flew by, fall term is now a distant memory, you have survived an Oregon winter, and now it’s time to wrap up the school year and begin planning for the next. As a reminder, 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 year, we did a major deep dive (fall-done!), explored opportunities to get involved in the major (winter-also done!) and now it’s time to investigate potential Psychology/Environmental Science/Environmental Studies career pathways (spring-register now!).

For this workshop we are inviting students from every class standing!
