Grounded in design thinking principles, students explore big questions – what they want to do, and, who they want to become – while shaping their college journey.
Students gain the skills needed to:
FIND PURPOSE: Students will be intentional about why they are here and where they are going.
PRIORITIZE WELL-BEING: Students will have access to resources to support their physical, mental, spiritual (where applicable) and financial wellbeing.
MAKE CONNECTIONS: Students will build a team of peers, faculty, staff, supporters and professional networks.
AND JUMP-START CAREER: Students will explore possibilities and take action to prepare for life after graduation.
