What does it really mean to be “undecided”? This week, we’re joined by David Spight of UC Irvine to challenge the myths around major exploration, unpack why choosing a major is about far more than picking a label, and explore how advisors can help students build meaningful educational narratives.
We also dig into the future of advisor training, the real-world skills emerging advising leaders need, and the power of professional relationships in higher education. Plus: roundabouts, parking debates, and plenty of campus-life side quests.
Whether you advise students, lead a team, or are still figuring out your own next chapter, this episode is packed with thoughtful insights and practical inspiration.
