effort to help sophomores in the arts and sciences col lege obtain information related to writing resumes summer internships and deciding on a major for those students who haven't already done so according to lori kennedy associate director of corporate relations and career ser vices this seminar for sophomores was creat ed as a result of the strong response received by a similar program offered last semester for upperclassmen the career explorer program was devel oped for all arts and sciences students kennedy said the reason for developing one for upperclassmen and the other for underclassmen is because the needs are dif ferent for each the seminar will be held in four parts since a great deal of information will be cov ered ranging from the choice of a major to choosing a career the seminar is designed to meet the needs of undecided students and students who have majors kennedy said while the first two sessions will be more useful for those students who are undecided the last two meetings will give more concrete information concerning writing resumes and researching summer internships it's best for students to attend all four seminars but there is flexibility for those stu dents who only wish to attend the last two kennedy said the seminars will be held in small groups as well as meetings of the entire body of stu dents involved in the program according to
