Major Declaration Day

At Reinhardt, we’re made for big moments, and choosing a major is one of them. For more than 140 years, Reinhardt students have made this step on their academic journeys, driven by their unique interests to select academic paths that help them make a mark on the world. Reinhardt is now announcing a new celebration: Major Declaration Day. On Friday, March 20, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Reinhardt is inviting you to the McClure Firepit and Patio, where you can declare your major in person, meet deans and faculty, and connect with current Eagles in your major who you will work alongside and build relationships with as you pursue your degree.

Major Declaration Day at Reinhardt University is going to be a big deal. It’s a new traditional celebration. It’s a time when Reinhardt recognizes the hard work students put into their education. Your major might be your forever calling, or it also might just be where you’re discovering yourself right now. But for everyone, this is a major moment.

At this event there will be food, giveaways, and official recognition for declaring your major. You will also have an opportunity to take a variety of photos alongside your friends and academic deans and faculty advisers. Each academic school will have a table and banner. Once you choose your path, you fill out a paper slip and drop it into the flame — a powerful symbol representing the spark of knowledge in their field of study.

Simply think of Major Declaration Day as connecting the dots between other events and milestones that mark your academic journey at Reinhardt. Major Declaration Day is another shared experience along with such events as the New Student Induction Ceremony and Commencement.
