Discovering Your Career Compass

Brian Crie, Teaching and Learning Commons

There is more to your academic and professional goals than just "follow your passion". You may have personal, cultural, and family values that impact your future career directions, but it can be challenging knowing how to talk about those values in context with your goals. Discovering Your Career Compass is meant to help students to explore their values while understanding how campus resources can support you in that journey using the concept of Ikigai to inform the reflection process.
