• DEANS' FORUM: MAKING CHOICES

  Do you wonder what your student will do with a degree in music, sociology, or gender and sexuality studies? Can your student safely apply to medical or law school without being a premed political science major? Are you uncertain about your student’s choice of major or career field but don’t know how to say so? Students are faced with many choices during their college years: majors, study abroad, honors, career planning, gap time, and much more. Talk to members of the dean’s office about how best to support your sons and daughters—in a thoughtful and informed way—as they navigate the many choices and opportunities Swarthmore has to offer.

  Friday, 3:45 to 5 p.m. in Lang Music Building
