First-Year Small Group Discussion
Monday, March 11th from 7-8 pm
SCC Room 314
The Sociology Department is partaking in this semester's Small Group Discussions for First-Years. These discussions happen each semester as a way for a small cohort of first-years to meet a faculty member in a department or program they are interested in.
For this semester's Small Group Discussion, the UDRs have decided to highlight Professor Derron Wallace of the Sociology and Education Departments as our guest speaker. Professor Wallace will be speaking about his path into Sociology and other career insights.
This event will take place on Monday, March 11th from 7-8 pm in the SCC room 314.
As spots are limited, we strongly encourage first-year students interested in exploring the Sociology Department to register and join in the conversation.
You can use this link, or scan the QR code on the flyer to register.
We look forward to seeing you there!
