This weekend the Canfield BHP team welcomed 381 students and guests from across the country to the University of Texas campus for Discover Canfield BHP – an annual on-campus event to introduce students to the Canfield BHP Community Throughout the day, admitted students heard from current Canfield BHP student about academics, career development opportunities, and college life. Admitted Students also participated in mock lectures with Texas McCombs professors.
Students and their guests started their day in Rowling Hall with a welcome introduction from Dr. Almazan and Director of Academic Services, Paul Pritchett. Following the opening remarks, two panels of students were present to answer any questions that students or guests may have about the program, giving them a better look at what it is like to be a Canfield BHP student.
Once students and guests had their opportunity to learn more about the program, community and major of Canfield BHP; we were led to lunch and had the opportunity to hear from two amazing keynote speakers, Texas McCombs Dean Lillian Mills and Phil Canfield ‘89.
After lunch, admitted students took part in icebreakers to get to know their future classmates better and learned more about the UT Campus through a scavenger hunt that led students to landmarks around the campus.
Aniket Gupta, Co-chair for Discover Canfield BHP said, “Being a lead for this event was such an amazing and fulfilling experience! As Co-Chair, I was mainly responsible for coordinating logistical planning, workshop creation, and networking event scheduling to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for all participants. It was rewarding to witness the enthusiasm and engagement of both volunteers and incoming students. Being able to facilitate connections while also fostering a sense of community within the program was truly gratifying. Overall, it seemed as if the incoming class of Canfield BHP students had a great time!”
