Academic Department Meetings
Meet with representatives from your academic areas of interest. Learn about admissions requirements, program details, and opportunities for learning inside and outside of the classroom. Make the most of conversations with UofL faculty, staff, and current students to start finding out about all the amazing academic opportunities has to offer!
Please note that there are two sessions for academic meetings, from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 11:40 AM to 12:10 PM. From the end of the welcome session, you will be escorted to your department or unit of interest. When the first session has ended, you may go to another session of your choice to explore another academic focus. In most instances, presentations will remain the same so everyone has an opportunity attend preferred sessions. After the second session, you will proceed to lunch with whichever department or unit you visited for the second session. You are not required to attend both sessions, but this is a great way to compare possible majors you're considering, think about how a minor in a subject might fit into your plan, or explore new possibilities you haven't thought of yet.
