RSVP for the March Concentrator’s Meeting: “Get Ready for Registration with the GH Fall 2016 Course Fair!”
Hey GH Concentrators!
So Fall 2016 Course registration opens April 3rd and you're all...
- How do I choose between two courses I'm really interested in?
- What do I do if I'm waitlisted or miss the cut on a course I need?
- What are the hard skills I'll take away from this course?
- Will I be able to balance my major assignments and schedule next semester?
- I don't have much prior knowledge...is this the right course for me?
Do any of these questions sound like you?
Or maybe you are pretty confident in your schedule, but just want to talk it through with some professors?
...Either way, lunch and mingling with other GH-ers and faculty? YES!
So please join us on Thursday, March 31 in CT-305. Lunch will be provided at 12:30 for those who registered and faculty will be formally available from 1-2pm.
GH Career services advisor Jeff Waller will also be on site to discuss how your curriculum plan can set you up for your future!
