In this general education capstone course, students integrate and reflect on what they have learned during their college journey as the foundation for envisioning a life of purpose and meaning. Returning to the theme of “telling your story” introduced in First-Year Foundations, students will consider big questions: How has my path changed? How can I contribute to the world? How would I tell my story now? Pre-requisites: Junior or Senior standing. 2 credits.
Purpose is a process and reflection driven course for
seniors and select juniors that meets twice a week for six weeks (one-half) of
the semester. Purpose brings students together from across different majors and
builds on skills developed in the Core Curriculum. Sections share common
student learning objectives, assignments, and a bank of readings and materials;
faculty bring their own teaching strengths and expertise to their sections of
Purpose and select additional texts and materials to meet the goals of the
course.
