As a component of the Compass curriculum, Mentored Academic Pathway (MAP) is a process of reflection, inquiry, and planning through which students choose their paths through the classes, majors, internships and extracurriculars.
MAP Day is day set aside to reflect on our individual and collective journeys, to build a stronger, more inclusive community, and to make a thoughtful plan to move ahead.
