Millennium Scholars First-Year Seminar

Catalog description

Millennium Scholars Program (MSP) First-Year Seminar is a one credit course designed for First-Year MSP students. This course is designed to assist new scholars in understanding and meeting the expectations of the Millennium Scholars Program. The course will focus on professional development including developing networking and interviewing skills, preparing applications for summer research experiences (REUs), wellness and self-care, learning self-advocacy, and learning how to effectively access and use university resources. This section of seminar is unique because only first-year students participating in the Millennium Scholars Program will be enrolled. At the conclusion of the seminar students should have the foundational elements of an REU application completed and a list of fifteen REUs they will apply to in the spring semester. Students will also discuss what it means to be a Millennium Scholar.
