TME Presentation Requests

The Major Experience (TME) is a University of Connecticut program designed to help students explore majors in a holistic and intentional manner. By offering peer connections through TME Student Mentors, personal guidance from exploratory experts, and access to an assortment of valuable tools, TME empowers students to be deliberate and purposeful in their journey.

We offer two different workshop series, How Major is Your Major, and a Values Assessment. You can read more on both of these below.

Please note that presenters are all ACES advisors, which means our schedules begin to fill with advising appointments towards the third week of September. To appropriately accommodate your request for Fall 2025, we ask that you try to schedule before Friday, September 19th.

How Major is Your Major

This is our hallmark presentation!

We believe that every student should be exploratory when it comes to majors. Whether they're anxiously undecided or comfortably declared, everyone can benefit from taking the time to examine their options. However, most students simply aren't prepared to explore. Preconceived assumptions and myths about majors prevent them from being able to take full advantage of the process. This presentation will focus on elevating the student approach to major exploration by acknowledging and correcting these misconceptions and demonstrating that choosing a major isn’t quite so major.

This presentation focuses on two key points:

  1. Addressing and dispelling common myths and fallacies associated with choosing majors/careers.
  2. Providing students with the appropriate tools and resources to effectively explore majors.

This presentation will take 50 minutes (including question/answer time throughout) and is VERY interactive. Please submit your request by completing the form below.

Values Assessment: What’s Really Important to you?

Your values will often be the driving force behind almost every important decision you make. They are your principles and standards. They are your judgment of what's important in life. Some values are innate and some are taught. They are beliefs, ideas and experiences that are important to you and direct your choices.

By leading an in-class activity and facilitating discussion throughout, we will give students the opportunity to begin thinking about their values and how values can guide their decision making. We will focus on how this impacts a student's choice of major and/or career.
