How does Majors in Minutes work?

View the Fall 2012 Majors in Minutes video here.
Each Mercer major will be represented by a junior or senior student currently studying in that major.  These representatives, stationed at tables throughout Penfield Hall, will speak with interested first-year and second-year students about their major and which classes they have taken in that program of study.  Majors in Minutes is done "speed-dating style."  Every 5 minutes, a bell will ring, prompting attendees to decide if they would like to stay at their current table or visit a different major.   

Major representatives will be available from 6:00-7:00 p.m. to answer questions about their program.  First-year and second-year students may chose to visit one major, or to visit them all, during that timeframe.
