Major Madness on Sproul is a week-long event dedicated to helping you make the most of your academic experience at Cal. Every day, there will be a fair with representatives from different majors and other offices on campus that can help you enrich your academics and learn about career options. Every day, all in one place, you'll be able to speak with students in different major organizations, faculty or student advisers from different departments, staff from the Career Center, the Education Abroad Program, and UCDC, among many others.
On Wednesday, there will be a dinner with featured faculty guests. Throughout the week, you can attend workshops to learn about the differences among majors and other issues you should consider as you choose your field of study.
Find out what it’s really like once you're involved in a certain major, learn how you can incorporate study abroad, undergraduate research, and much more. Discover how all these things can prepare you for a great job after graduation!
Keep in mind...
Telebears is coming-up in April, you can start planning now by taking the time during this major awareness week to beat the rush and meet with major advisers to discuss your registration questions.

Leadership Colors Presented by: Glenn DeGuzman, Campus Life and Leadership Office, Director of Leadership Development Are you curious about your own leadership style? Have you always wondered why people communicate the way they do, and why it's more difficult to understand some people more than others? Would you like to find out how others see you? Using a brief "Leadership Colors" assessment, participants in this workshop will discover their own behavioral tendencies with people who have different leadership styles or "colors." Understanding your leadership colors can also assist you in finding the right career field! |
