<p>I would encourage your daughter to reach out to one of the many adults on campus. If her academic advisor has not been helpful, the global advisors are GREAT to talk about interests with: <a href=“http://globaladvising.duke.edu/”>http://globaladvising.duke.edu/</a>. She can also make an appointment to talk with Dean Fox, head of the Advising Center during Dean Fox’s evening office hours (in the advising newsletter). There are also peer advisors (<a href=“http://advising.duke.edu/peer”>http://advising.duke.edu/peer</a>) with sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have been trained in how to talk with students about academic interests/possiblities, and they’ve all hit brick walls. A lot. A lot a lot, and learning how to talk about it and think about it is important.</p>
<p>She also still has a semester to declare a major! If she’s sophomore, she doesn’t have to declare until right before spring break.</p>
