Career Exploration and Professional Connection

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to help students identify and explore meaningful careers through a process of self-discovery, self-care and guided conversations with our alumni speakers. Over the course of this seminar, we will assess ourselves to understand our values, strengths, skills, and interests, and we will also examine what it means and what it takes to launch and sustain a successful career. To aid us on this journey, we will leverage the technological power of LinkedIn and other online resources as well as the lived experiences and perspectives of alumni in order to ultimately envision and chart our own career goals moving forward. This course is as much about wellness as it is about career; for, if you understand both yourself and your options, and feel supported in your journey, then the future isn't daunting -- it's exciting. Counts as a Full-Semester Wellness/Non-movement course.
