The fifth annual majors’ fair was held Tuesday, Nov. 7, in the Memorial Student Center auditorium. The fair presented a wealth of information to students about various academic departments and on-campus opportunities with special programs.Booths at the fair provided information on degree plans, and the various departments on campus. There were booths sponsored by the scholarship office, student activities, health and counseling services, and other campus activities, all of which gave information to students about their respective departments. The fair kept students entertained throughout the day with performances from the music and drama department.
“The intent of this program is to provide a centralized opportunity for students to investigate various majors, minors, career options and other academic information in one location,” said Fred Braggs, coordinator for the fair. “It was designed to help students make better informed decisions, be more academically successful, and complete their degrees in a timely manner.”
Many high school students from Waller, Forestbrook, Hempstead, Southfalls, and Bryan were given the opportunity to gain information about the university.
“I think it was a good opportunity for high school students to come and get a taste of PV,” said Chris Ford, one of the Prairie View students who was helping to direct other students to the MSC ballroom. Many students were given information regarding degree plans for their majors, and career options, as well as graduate school opportunities.
