Colleges have extraordinary responsibilities in the lives of their students. Sometimes overlooked is guiding students into purposeful careers.
Tim Clydesdale is the author of The Purposeful Graduate. It's an evaluation of a large-scale program funded by the Lilly Foundation that paid for 88 colleges to create purpose programs for their students. In this episode, you'll learn the lessons from these programs, including what worked and what didn't.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
- Research on fostering purpose among college students
- The power of narrative in exploring purpose
- The longterm effect of college students finding purpose
- The value of hands-on experience related to purpose
- The best year in college for exploring matters of purpose
