Personal Activity
This activity is anything that you can connect with your future major, career or
profession. Valid events include but are not limited to
attending a club related to your major (e.g. SWE, NSBE, IEEE, SHPE),
a job fair where you talk to corporate representatives (e.g. Industrial Roundtable),
listening to a talk of a speaker with professional experience related to your career interests,
doing internet research on potential employers
a meeting with a professor about opportunities for undergraduate research.
attending an event about global or study abroad activities
mapping courses for your degree online or with an academic advisor or other
activities that connect with your major/career interests and provide you with
an experience that you can reflect on
We are only requiring two, but we hope you take advantage of more of the many
resources Purdue has to help you find a rewarding career. If you are not sure if
an event would count, ask your instructor or GTA.
