How I chose my major...
I was denied from the School of Music (I wanted to be a saxophone performance major) and I didn’t know what else to do so I joined a First Year Interest group at my school about Nigerian life and culture. I enjoyed learning about cultures and languages around the world and stuck with it because I had no better ideas at the time. I don’t work in anything related to my major but I also regret nothing and would do it all again!

Best advice for students exploring majors
Being uncertain about majors and careers can feel uncomfortable when it feels like everyone else has “a plan”. Exploration, while challenging, is a chance to reflect on who you are, what you value, what you enjoy, and what you’re good at. Take the opportunity to slow down, reflect, and explore what is most important to you.
