CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Carolina Athletics Majors/Minors/Programs Fair returned an in-person format this fall for the first time since 2019.Â
Â
Thirty-one departments, clubs, and programs participated on this year's event, which gives UNC student-athletes the opportunity to explore areas of study they might not have considered while also learning more about those they're already leaning toward.
Â
At the evening event held in the Loudermilk Center Blue Zone, student-athletes browsed from table to table, picking up tips and information. A total of 146 student-athletes attended, including 14 upperclass student-athletes who came to share their own experiences with the younger students.
Â
"The fair gave me insight into different academic paths I'm considering," said Sadie Smith, a first-year student-athlete on the UNC volleyball team. "I have some clarity on what I need to do going forward in my academic future."
Â
In addition to a variety of departments, the fair's line-up included professional schools (School of Education, Kenan-Flagler Business School, Gillings School of Global Public Health and Hussman School of Journalism & Media, among others), graduate programs (Kenan-Flagler Master of Accounting) and campus resources such as the Study Abroad Office, Center for Public Service, and Wood Center for Real Estate Studies.
Â
For representatives of academic departments, it provides an opportunity to share information about various academic paths students can choose.Â
Â
"This was a great opportunity to meet many of our first-year student-athletes," said Professor Glenn Walters from the Department of Applied Physical Sciences. "Their enthusiasm and engagement was impressive, and I hope to see them in my class next semester."
