SOPHOMORES AT SEWANEE
|
The Sophomore Year Experience is designed by a team of students, faculty and staff to meet the needs of Sewanee students during their second year on the Mountain. The events are intended to provide students with options to explore opportunities and to engage more fully in the campus community.
The SYE has been designed with the understanding that the following are core aspects of the program:
CHOOSING A MAJOR - Every student in the college is required to choose a major during the Easter Semester of their Sophomore Year. Discuss! Discern! Declare! is an example of a program designed to help students navigate the important steps in this process. The "major-party" is a new event for Easter 2008 that will allow Sophomores to meet other students who recently declared the same major and faculty in the department! The "Major Party" will take place on Tuesday, March 18 at 4:30 PM in Convocation Hall.
CAREER SERVICES - It is important that Sophomores become familiar with Career Services so that they begin to understand the many services that this office provides to Sewanee students. From networking opportunities, to choosing a career path, to self-diagnostic tests to determine strengths, the Career Services Staff are ready to educate students about the many ways they can help! Learn more about Career Services here.
SOCIAL EVENTS - Students love to be social and providing special "sophomore events" has proven a great way to promote class unity! Examples of social events include the annual powder-puff game, athletic events, and the annual Sophomore Dinner.
LEADERSHIP - As an institution, Sewanee believes that it is educating the leaders of tomorrow. The SYE attempts to introduce students to leadership opportunities through the AP program, the Sophomore Class Council, the Lilly Program and others.
