2017 MAJORS + CAREERSEXPO

I can't think of anything I would want to add.I think I would have larger walking area or a set path that people go through. It was difficult getting through the crowds.

A map at the front with all of the majors and their locations in the fair. less fair-like and more of a presentation

I did not experience lot of emphasis on careersMore people advertising and helping to explain

A map of each booth would have been very helpful. It was a little overwhelming trying to figure out how to navigate it. More organization of it's possible.

More books about some majorsA map of the place, put it on the wall in multiple places so people don't have to wander around or ask for directions

a mapMore organization

More free stuff. Don't get me wrong I got a TON of free stuff but hey I like more free stuff. Given the professor's name and the class he taught before at the advertisment.

I think there could be a map or guide that showed you where the specific majors and careers were located.Maybe get a bigger space or spread out a little more? All the students were really crammed

More live experiments.Better organization- it was difficult to navigate and hard to tell how everything was laid out

Maybe having more interactive activities for each station would help gain attraction for the different majors andorganizations.

Interesting minors for each group, how to diverse yourself from others in that major.A speech and hearing booth.

More Staff to interact with students.Put the map/layout in the app
