D. declared an A&L major and no interest in med/law and got a ton of attention from the department head, who meets personally with all declared majors and helps select an advisor based on the student’s interests and goals. She was offered a job in the department as well–they offer all declared majors something I guess–and was even told that when she goes abroad for a semester they can often arrange a bit of research money.

From what I have observed there are people just aching for students to mentor into graduate school. D. said they googled their professors and got kind of intimidated–these people are really stars–and all of them are just there, available, to interested students. It is an amazing opportunity for her and I’m just thankful she’s smart and observant enough to be taking advantage of all of these people available to teach her.
