This course is highly-participatory and designed for SBS sophomores to explore and plan their SBS Pathways ? from college to career ? as they: 1) reflect on the intersections among their academic, personal, civic, and professional values and aspirations; 2) collaborate with classmates to learn and practice skills that will allow them to translate their academic, co-curricular, experiential, and work-related accomplishments into purposeful careers, service, or further study; 3) cultivate the skills and vision of engaged and ethical leadership; and 4) develop a viable and personally meaningful plan and ?toolkit? of concrete professional development materials to pursue their evolving goals. Although the instructor and invited guest experts will present information during class, students will also receive background information and prepare materials as homework outside of class so that much of our classroom time can be devoted to mutual mentoring through teams working with the instructor and invited guest experts in particular topics. Students will be expected to work together to solve problems, practice skills, offer constructive feedback, and develop ongoing, mutual mentoring relationships with their teammates.
Open to SBS majors and sophomore SBS exploratory track students.
