First-year students, have you picked your passion yet? Don't miss series of departmental exploration (DEX) events sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming.
DEX will be a structured time at the end of IAP for academic discovery that will allow students to experience what it’s like to be an undergrad in each department. Events include: student panels, open houses and showcases of projects and research. Each day there will be at least one topic panel featuring students from departments listed who will speak about their in and out of class experiences studying in this department.
The events will primarily focus on the School of Science and School of Engineering. Additionally, departments in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Sloan School of Management and School of Humanities Arts and Social Sciences will also be highlighted throughout the week.
Events will take place January 27, 29, 30 & 31. No sign up is necessary, just come to whatever sessions you are most interested in!
