FYE 112: 鈥淧ursuing Good Work and a Good Life鈥� 鈥� for anyone still exploring or thinking about changing majors

What does “success” mean to you? Money? Fame? Does “success” lead to happiness? Does your major reflect your interests, skills, and values? Are you curious about other opportunities and academic options? This course will provide a supportive space where students who are changing and exploring majors can unearth and interpret some of the beliefs and assumptions that led them to their initial goals, as well as offer resources to help carve out exciting paths for themselves. Along the way, students will continue to examine their values, interests, strengths, and goals; become well-versed in a variety of methods of self-reflection; learn about accepting and managing uncertainty; hone their critical reading and thinking skills through readings and research; and recognize the transferrable skills they will cultivate as they develop their academic and professional paths. We will look at issues including perfectionism, procrastination, and happiness to learn to cultivate an attitude designed to help take the steps you need to follow聽to build a career and life full of intention and meaning.
