On Friday, during or field trip to the SRB, I learned that the SRB was indeed the home to many indispensable programs and offices designed to help students succeed and deal with potentially problematic situations. The offices on the third aimed at academic support; CLAS(campus learning and support), Office of international students and scholars, and the Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity, and LGBT Resources. The second floor was as far as I can tells for the administrative branch of the school; Dean of students, Dep. of Student Life, Disabled students program, educational opportunity program etc. The first floor had the children's center, lactation room, and Women's center, among the more commonly used resources on the first floor are a computer lab, Graduate division recruitment, multipurpose room and kitchen and student meeting room. All of the resources are extremely useful and should be used if you need them.
At the Majors and minors fair I visited the German and Slavic studies table and found out I am mostly done with my lower division German classes due to the Ap tests that I took and passed, Since I am so far into the minor I figure why not. I also visited the history departments table and found out that I can take upper division history classes without being an academic sophomore. Visited the anthropology table and listened to the things that they had to offer, and how many different types of anthropology there are. Beforehand I was only aware of cultural anthropology, and was unaware that Physical and biological anthropology existed.
I am impressed that you have nearly completed your lower division German classes due to (passed) AP's! I am also envious that you already know what you want to study. I have yet to specify my interests into a set major and minor, but thankfully I do have some time to think about it. I did not have time to walk around and view all the specific program rooms, which is why I found it particularly helpful that you listed most. I didn’t know that the Department of Student life, the Children’s Center, or the graduate division recruitment was located in SRB.
ReplyDeleteWow, German and Slavic studies. That stuff is not easy. And to think you're already almost done with your lower division courses! that is super impressive. I was considering taking some german courses because my mother is full German (and speaks it fluently), but I kind of just gave up because I figured I was too old and too developed in English to ever be very good at German. Hey, Good Luck!
