Through the Looking Glass: Discovering Identity, Purpose and Path

Catalog description

At this point in college, we are either firming up who we are or our lives are turning upside down. Identity is a fluid, ever changing aspect of who we are, what we want to be, and what we value. We see it in how we view others and how others view us. In this class, we will examine theories of personal, cultural, and societal identities. Through this, we will move forward into examining what we love to do, what we are good at, and how we can use this to make a positive difference in our communities. Applied real-world opportunities: Cultural plunges, overnight retreat, and portfolio development will be involved.
