I know, I know–it was 80 degrees last week and summer doesn’t seem that far behind us, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start thinking about the next one. Your sophomore summer is a pivotal time. By then, you will have declared your major. Why not try it out somehow, outside of the classroom? Perhaps this means you want to apply to study abroad, or maybe do some research, volunteer or even find an internship.
Get some ideas by browsing the major information on the CDC’s web site at cdc.richmond.edu. Come talk to an advisor during walk-ins, Monday-Friday from 2 to 4 p.m. in THC 305. Brainstorm what you’d like to do, and get some ideas of how to make it happen!
Dream big and get crackin’!
The Career Development Center’s Destination Unknown is a two-day retreat that allows second-year students to explore their self-awareness, college goals and aspirations for the future.
