The goal of the event was to help students get an opportunity to explore their options and understand what they wanted out of their academic field. It also helped students connect with those who represent the fields they had an interest in or were taken into consideration.
The room was filled with students r, curious to explore their options. The emphasis was on undecided students, freshmen, and new students, according to a flyer, but it was an open fair for everyone interested to partake in.
Some students were there just out of curiosity.
“I am satisfied with my current major,” says Jada Pinnock, a junior communications major. “But I still want to look through them just in case, especially since I am still somewhat of a new student.”
Though many others were there because they genuinely were interested in switching or finding a major.
“I wanted to come because I am still on the fence about my major,” said a sophomore science and tech major. “ I want to see what other majors could capture my interest.”
Many college students across the country tend to question if they want to pursue a certain major/minor, or if they have the capability to pursue one that is more fitting for them then what they currently have. There are of course those who do not have a major and want a platform that would help them make their decision.

Kean University holds these essential fairs every semester to help remedy this situation. These fairs are important as they get information about majors and minors for those who could use them.
The fair turned out to be a big success, as it was last in the past. Kean University hopes to hold another successful major-minor fair for years to come.
