Exploratory Program's MAP receives 2021 NASPA Excellence Award Bronze

Assisting Exploratory students with confidently declaring their major is the goal of the Exploratory Program's Major Action Program (MAP).  The MAP has just been selected as the recipient of the 2021 NASPA Excellence Bronze Award in the Academic Advising, Careers, Graduate Professional Category. The program connects students with intentional action items based on their career readiness, thus informing how, what, where, and why they may explore majors that align with their strengths and career interests. The Excellence Award recognizes and highlights innovative initiatives that relate to the programs, policies, procedures, best practices or services. The Excellence Award application was judged on the following criteria: impact on student learning, relevance to our mission, successfully addressing students' needs and program concerns and issues (e.g. retention), collaboration with campus partners, use of innovative and creative methods/technology, application to the theoretical framework and evidence of program assessment. The award will be shared publicly during the 2021 NASPA Virtual Conference.
