Download iCal FileOn the fence about your major or thinking about a switch-up? Join us for an informative student panel!
What if you could get the inside scoop from students who have navigated the maze and found their way? Attend this major exploration event to hear from other UIC students who are excited about their majors and future career options.
They will share insight regarding things like:
- How they chose their major
- How they found their fit
- Navigating family pressures related to majors/careers
- Key experiences (i.e., internships, research, student involvement, volunteer work, etc.)
Panelists include:
Anthony Lopez, Biology
Hi my name is Anthony Lopez. I am an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, this is my second year and I am majoring in Biology on the pre-med track. A couple college experiences that I have been a part of include Medicina Scholars, Health Career Pathway Program, Latino Pre-medical Student Association (Event coordinator), Student Activities Board, I am part of the LAS Ganas Research Fellowship, and most recently I am a Chemistry 122 Peer Learning Assistant. One goal I have in mind is to become a physician and advance medical techniques specifically in anesthesia.
Susie Summerlot, Anthropology
I am an active member of both Classics Club and Anthropology Club, a combination that is now going to allow me to present research at a national conference next March. I work for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as Campus Housing as a Resident Assistant (RA) and have an internship at the National Hellenic Museum. After college, I hope to become an archivist in a museum and go on to graduate school.
Yadira Villanueva, Pyschology and Criminology, Law, and Justice
I am a Psychology and Criminology major. I hope to work with children. I am currently interning at the LAS Career Development and Internship office. I hope to spend my last few months at UIC being more involved in the events and activities UIC has to offer.
