    Explanation
    The front desk staff in the TRAC Center play several important roles including welcoming students, making appointments, and answering the phone. You will learn a lot about what the TRAC Center does, so you may be able to answer a lot of questions for students. However, there will always be things you need to ask a TRAC Center staff person about, and that is perfectly fine. If nobody is there to ask, write down the question and leave it outside our office doors or e-mail us!

    Correct Answer
    A. Give the student the flyer with information about how to take the "Do What You Are" assessment online. Then, schedule them to attend a DWYA workshop. Remind them to complete the assessment before their scheduled workshop.
    Explanation
    We like all students who are trying to choose a major or career to first take the DWYA assessment. This tool helps the student to think critically about themselves and gives the TRAC Center staff a better idea of how to help them. They may sign up for a DWYA workshop before they have taken the assessment, but the assessment must be finished before the workshop date. After a student has attended a workshop, they may follow up with an individual appointment with a TRAC Center staff person.
