Charting Your College Path: A Veritas Academic Planning Workshop

Are you thinking about what you want to study in college—or how your major might shape future career or grad-school opportunities? 🎓📈 You’re invited to Designing Your Academic Journey, a virtual workshop hosted by the Veritas Alumni Association College Readiness Committee on December 7th from 6:00–7:30 PM ET for high school students and early college students. 💻✨

In this workshop, you will:

• Understand how college majors connect to real career and postgraduate outcomes: Learn how different fields align with industries, skills, salary trends, and pathways like law, medicine, business, and consulting through a 30-minute live Q&A panel with Veritas alumni. 💼🏥⚖️📊
• Explore a real college course catalog: Get a clear picture of what various majors actually study, including course sequences, prerequisites, and department expectations. 📚🔍
• Receive personalized advising to build your own four-year academic plan: Work directly with Veritas alumni to outline major/minor requirements, AP/IB credits, internships, research, study abroad, and timelines for exams such as the MCAT or LSAT. 📝🌍🎓
• Reflect on your strengths and interests: Use guided prompts to identify what you naturally excel at and what environments or problems you’re drawn to. 💭
