Students often wonder, "What is the right major/career for me? How do I know my options? What steps do I need to take to reach my career goals? Who can I go to for help?"In this course you'll develop a clearer sense of self and create greater awareness of your multiple identities and how they influence your career decision-making and future success. You'll also learn the importance of social and cultural capital and how to build the capital needed to move forward in your career journey.Through community building, storytelling, reflection, readings, lecture, discussion, in-class activities and projects, you'll be empowered to define career success through your own lived experiences and cultural lenses, gain confidence in your career decision-making abilities, and author your own career journey.
