PDP Opportunity - Career Event in Davis Hall

Movement Science major, Charlie Bain is an RA in Davis Hall. He is organizing a Major Fair for undeclared first year students. He is looking for each department to send a senior student representative to promote their major if possible. He notes, "Since Davis Hall is comprised of first year students, there are a considerable amount of students at this time, are still unsure of what they want to do. Hopefully this event will help them decide or at least peak their interest in a new field of study."

The event will be held April 27th at 6pm in the Davis Common Room.

Interested students should contact Charlie directly at cbain8509@wsc.ma.edu. PDPs will be awarded for participation in this event. Be sure to have a yellow and/or tan form signed.
