Have a Major Buddy

Choosing a major can feel like a big deal, and sometimes, it can feel a bit overwhelming. There's so much to consider, so much to know, and so many questions! Whether you've just declared your primary or additional major with us or are considering doing so, we want you to feel like you have someone to connect with who can help you feel welcome, answer questions from a student perspective, and serve as a resource.

If you'd like to be connected to a Major Buddy in the Department of English, please continue with this questionnaire. Once your responses are received, we will be in touch with you.

Thank you! We look forward to connecting with you!
