The goal of the Sophomore Program is to support sophomores with the expansion of their network, identifying and planning for special opportunities, engaging in career-related research, and exploring and choosing the best major/minors for them. To accomplish this, peer leaders facilitate engagement events, host information sessions, provide tips for success, and stay connected to students in a variety of ways.
