Exploratory Week 2020

Welcome!

Welcome exploratory students to Exploratory Week 2020! This week is all about you exploring and learning about yourself, learning about your educational options and learning about possible career options.

Throughout the week, we will be releasing new content each business day: a Q & A panel with former exploratory students; a presentation on tracking for multiple majors; an introduction to the Canvas course Exploratory Roadmaps; a Career Connections Center presentation on exploring majors through networking; and even holding some exploratory advising hours on our final day. By releasing new content each day, we hope to enable you to access information step by step instead of receiving it all at once and feeling overwhelmed.

We hope that the activities this week will lead you to unlocking a major, career, or direction that will make you excited about the rest of your time at UF! The Exploratory team is looking forward to meeting you, helping you, and making you feel more a part of the Gator nation!
