Welcome to Explore!

This page has information you’ll find helpful throughout the duration of the program. Below is the schedule of Explore, which includes important locations and addresses that will help you find your way around Houston. After each session, you will be asked to complete a survey. The survey can be found via QR codes in your Explore Workbook, but can also be accessed on this page by clicking “Take Survey” after the listed session.

This page also includes lists of program presenters, as well as all undergraduate attendees. You’ll also find links to each individual’s LinkedIn pages, too! At the bottom of the page, there is a list of Phi Psi staff who will be in attendance along with their contact information.
