3. Design quick art challenges that encourage failure, not talent
'''Strategic Priority 2: Guiding students who are unsure of their career goals'''
''Project Leader: Ellie Zentner''
There are many students, whether seniors in high school or early college students, who are unsure of what kind of career path they want to take. The problem is, most of these students aren't sure where to go for guidance. It's hard for students to fully grasp which majors will actually suit them based on their interests and skills. Furthermore, students might not know their options outside of attending a traditional four-year university. Overall, the goal is to implement a program or series of events that will help guide these students so they can ultimately discover the ideal career path for them. The biggest concern with this is figuring out which tactic will get the biggest response from students and be the most accessible.
'''Potential Tactics'''
1. Setting up a biyearly "major fair" where students can attend booths ran by upperclassmen of each major
2. Implementing a new section of UNO's peer mentoring program specifically designed for undeclared majors or students unsure of their major
3. Introducing seminars where students can learn about different career fields as well as options outside of four-year college (trade school, community college, etc.)
