APEX Day: What Will I Do Next?

APEX Day moving to the fall semester!

APEX Day is a class-free day with a focus on APEX-aligned presentations and experiences that help students plan for their future, whether it be first and second year students learning about what they can do at Ursinus in the coming years, or upperclass students further preparing and making decisions about their post-graduation plans. 

The heart of apex:  Four Centers of innovation

In each hub or center, Ursinus students collaborate with faculty and professional advisors and mentors across disciplines to address global challenges such as climate change and sustainability, peace and conflict studies, social justice and advocacy, artificial intelligence and democracy, and more.

Through their work in these hubs and centers, students develop critical career competencies in design thinking, digital fluency, project management, and entrepreneurship alongside essential values of liberal education like responsibility, creativity, innovation, independence, and equity.

Our hubs and centers include:

  • The Parlee Center for Science and the Common Good
  • The Center for Humanities in Action (CHIA)
  • The Sport and Humanity Hub
  • The Hub for Civic and Global Leadership
