The sun beamed and music played by a DJ, blasted from speakers as students gathered near Driscoll Lawn. Students noticed the tables set up on the lawn and many looked around curiously asking, “Where’s the free food?”

DU often has free food for students to attract attention to events, and the Majors and Minors Fair was no exception  with sweet and sticky barbecue chicken, tangy coleslaw, POM iced coffee drinks, a chocolate fountain and Jamba Juice to check out the fair.

Older students had an opportunity to ask last minute questions about completing their majors while underclassmen had a chance to learn about the recent changes in the University requirements.

“There’s been a steady flow of students all day,” observed senior Kali Smith who was working the DUPED peer health education booth at the fair.

“It’s cool everyone’s in one spot, it is efficient and convenient,” said senior David Koller. “I talked to both of my advisers today for my double major,” said Koller who was working at the DUPE’D booth.

Each department of study had a table set up with an adviser to answer student’s questions about their majors and minors. Various student organizations, such as DUPE’D, were also out on the lawn chatting with students.

Senior Cameron Stone was working the philosophy department booth and said, “We have been informing students about details for their major, about if they have time for two majors and what a minor looks like.”

If students did not have an opportunity to ask questions at the fair, they can stop by the department of their study to talk with an adviser. There are also e-mail addresses for professors in each department available at du.edu/directory.
