The Annual Department Retreat to Black Rock Forest in September is a highlight for many of our students and is a wonderful opportunity for students and faculty to come together as a community and share some memorable experiences. This overnight trip includes activities such as hiking, campfire and s'mores, games, sing-alongs, and much more.
Program Planning is hosted once a semester before class registration. This event introduces the students to the department, our major requirements, course offerings for the semester, and other opportunities. This also allows students to speak with faculty and upperclassmen about the advising, courses, and the major.
