Major Fair & SRB & Being Resourceful

I went to the major and minor fair this afternoon. I thought that it was great to have this fair for freshmen like me. At the major fair, I talked to Kimberly Hampton, who is the undergraduate advisor for the department of economics, and I took a flyer about my major. One of the interesting facts I had learned is that one of our upper classman went to New York Wall Street for internship. It made me really excited about going into my major. Even though economics is not a business major, it serves as the base of business. The flyer provides much information about my major, and it also includes a major sheet for students to keep track of their requirements. I thought that the flyer was very informative and useful.

On the last INT95 section, we were able to take a tour at the student resource building (SRB). I was very fascinated with the design of the building. It was very modern. I had found the EOP office and CLAS. One interesting spot that I had found was the box for people to donate their old sneakers. I thought that it was very nice to have that, because I would definitely donate my old sneakers for people who really need them instead of throwing away the sneakers.



As of being a resourceful college student, I think it means to be a student that people can go to and to be a student that knows how to reach out to the resources that his or her school provides. There are many programs, services, and clubs that are offered to students at UCSB. I think it is very important for students to utilize those resources that are provided for them. It does not only help them to be more successful but also more involved to their school.

  1. Your posts gives off this impression on me that the majors and minors fair was where you gained lots of information. I also felt that I learned new information from the event. I am pretty glad that they had it because it helped me, but I am also happy to hear that the event helped you. On the topic of the student resource building, I had no idea there was a place to donate old sneakers; now I do. However, the most beneficial thing I found at the student resource center has to be the CLAS room in which you found as well. I plan on going there a few times during the year; I heard it can be very beneficial.
