SPA Advising Events This Wednesday!

Events, Featured

The UHP and your SPA have two advising events this Wednesday at the Foggy Bottom Club Room:
FOR JUNIORS: Senior Requirements Workshop at 2PM. Confused about what you need to do to senior year to fulfill UHP graduation requirements? Come talk with Catherine and some of your senior SPA who are in the process of completing those requirements right now! Get a head start on thinking about what you’ll need to do your senior year and make sure you know what the requirements are so the lead up to graduation goes as smoothly as possible!
FOR UNDERCLASSMEN: UHP requirements beyond freshmen year workshop, at 6:30PM. Freshmen and sophomores don’t need to really start worrying about senior graduation requirements just yet, but between now and the end of senior year you’ve got other UHP requirements to fulfill. Your SPA will walk you through what those requirements are so you can make sure you’re on the right path to get all of your UHP requirements done by graduation!
We know thinking about this stuff can be stressful, but trust us: it’s going to be okay.
