 '''Project Lead: Mohamed Moustafa'''

One of the main problems facing first year students is uncertainty choosing a field of study or a major to pursue, this applies directly to undecided students but also impacts a great population of freshman students who are decided yet dubious. Many Through our journey as UIF candidates we had the opportunity to interview freshmen students and we found that they are mostly unaware of these the wide range of university major offerings. Making students come into college more aware of majors available and career opportunities in each field can make them more likely to commit to finishing their degree and counteract 'first year drop off'. Another very useful startegy for freshman retention that we uncovered through our discussion with these doubts several faculty andstaff leaders is faculty-student engagement outside of class.
