Living on Purpose: A Course of Self-Discovery. Article by Rachel Brougham for University of Minnesota.
At some point in life, we’ll have to ask ourselves hard questions and face difficult decisions. From careers and relationships to how you spend your time, life will require you to take a deep dive into who you really are, what you really want out of life and how you’re going to get there. You’ll look to answer the question, “What makes me want to get out of bed in the morning?”
Since 2013, the course Living on Purpose: An Exploration of Self, Purpose, and Community (CSPH 3211) has helped students answer that question. During this hybrid course, students take deep dives into who they are, where they came from, and where they are going. Class exercises help students find the meaning of their own lives and what it means to live more purposefully, along with how to build a framework to support living on purpose both now while they are in college and into the future.
