Recommendations for Pre-Major Advisors
Here are some helpful tips and techniques to encourage student engagement with the fair and maximize their experience.
- Remind students to attend the Choices Fair and share the Choices Fair webpage for additional information on participation.
- Have students develop a list of program resources or booths they’d like to visit during the fair.
- Encourage students to share their experiences at the fair. This could be through check-in conversations at the beginning of class, discussion board posts, or brief reflections.
- Consider having students attend as a “group.” Students could gather as a class and engage in the fair.
