All new undergraduates are expected to attend Dog Days, and the sessions are mandatory for freshmen, said Kenneth Ternate, coordinator of the program within the Division of Student Affairs.
During Dog Days, academic advisers from each college or school will be available to discuss general education and major academic requirements.
