Every semester, the Cane Navigators host workshops and events for academic exploration. Our signature week every fall and spring semester occurs the week after the last day to drop without a W on the academic calendar.

Toppel Career Center offers excellent resources for exploring careers and connecting those to potential majors here at the University of Miami.
