In today's episode, we heard from one of our excellent academic advisors in the Exploratory Advising Office, Jana Haws. Jana and I discussed what it means to be an exploratory student and the benefits that it holds early in your college career. Many students don't know what they want to study, and that is ok! There are so many resources available to incoming students, and we encourage all of you to take advantage of each and every one. See the links below for more information:
