SUMMARY:MAP Day Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:This is a day for exploration\, reflection\, and planning. It is a celebration of learning in its broader sense. In place of regular classes\, participate in special activities designed to reflect on where you are in your educational journey and the steps you need to take to make it where you want to go. \nMAP Day happenings include workshops for students at every stage of their college career and advising sessions for each academic program area\, as well as sessions on topics such as study abroad\, life and career planning\, honors and scholars programs\, and financial planning. There will be a major fair and a graduate school fair\, as well as other career-related programming. (The full schedule of activities will be available soon.) \nThe day’s events also include an academic session in which faculty engage in an interdisciplinary conversation to discuss the topic of “Abundance and reciprocity” from their disciplinary perspectives. The theme was inspired by the first-year students’ common reading selection\, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World\, by Robin Wall Kimmerer. \nAnswering your reflective MAP Questions is required for graduation and you can complete them during MAP Day. Please talk with your advisor if you have questions.
