The Major Mob website is a student project completed by Kate Lawless, Alicia Baraniewicz, and Hannah-Love Shibley in May 2012.
The purpose of Major Mob is to help high school students explore career opportunities before they enter college in order to aid the creation of career plans that will help students choose colleges and their majors more wisely.
The website is just one aspect of the Major Mob project. I worked on the writing and the design of the site with Alicia and Hannah-Love, but played a key role in coding the HTML and CSS for the site.
