First Year and Second Year Experience Resources
Second Year Community Groups - WebCentral
If you are a DU second year student, you will be signed up to the SYE community group on WebCentral. Through this group FY-SYE will email you about deadlines and specific events for second year students (the group is very specific and you will not receive hundreds of emails belonging to this group).
Commuter Student Connections
Are you a commuter student? Would you like to get more connected to campus and other students who have similar interests and commuting lifestyles? At the beginning of the year, you will automatically be signed up to the Commuter Student Community Group on WebCentral. Through this group you will get announcements and emails about events of interest to commuting students. Belonging to this group is optional so you can unsubscribe.

Don't forget to check out the online Second Year Survival Guide! The guide will be full of information on services and opportunities for you at DU. If you'd like a printed copy of the booklet, you can request one by emailing your request to DUIT@du.edu
Career Decision Making Course (CNP1200)
Are you undeclared or considering changing your major? Are you uncertain about which careers are right for you? Do you have an effective resume? Explore your interests, strengths, and career options, clarify your academic direction, and develop effective career management skills in the Career Decision Making course (CNP 1200) offered through the Counseling Psychology program.
The class is currently offered during the winter and spring quarters for two credit hours and is great for students who are undeclared or who may be considering changing their major (it is open to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students). Throughout the quarter, students are led through a process of self-evaluation and discovery by engaging in a variety of activities that enable students to better understand their personality characteristics, values, transferable skills, and interests. Students are also taught how to research the job market, and use this information in conjunction with what they learn about themselves to make decisions regarding potential career paths.
The course also covers the practical side of career development including drafting resumes and cover letters, networking, conducting informational meetings, and preparing for interviews. In addition, students learn how to obtain internship opportunities and are introduced to the career resources available on campus. The format of the course includes small group activities, guest speakers, discussion, and lecture. For more information on this class please contact Sue Bennett.
